In This Particular Moment

These days,
I walk away when I should;
At this point in my life,
I no longer go out of my way
To be understood..
Although
It would be nice to have someone
Who knows what I mean
When I say what I have to say,
I have learned that
Seeking society's approval
Is a waste
Of the day..
No one is going to
Get where you're coming from
100%% of the time
But,
That doesn't mean
That you should change your mind-
And make those decisions
That would be
Relatively easier to accept;
I have already spent enough time
Sacrificing myself-
Sacrificing my happiness
For the smile
On the next man's face;
My heart still beats
But
At a very different pace..
At this point,
I can honestly say
That adapting to troubled waters
Is much less of a burden
Than having faith in a bridge
That ultimately
Won't serve its purpose
