good story

living life unconventionally
is not easy
the embodiment of abnormality
that’s me
and my idea of success
is no longer wealth or fame or notoriety
but rather basic humanity
humility, sensitivity
i’m searching for livity, levity
looking for the best in me
the best in everyone
and the quest isn’t done
just begun
and no prize will be won in this life
just a journey continued
and what i leave unfinished
i’ll pass on to you
an ongoing pursuit
it’s each and every step we take
every infinitesimal decision we make
that is the ever elusive point to all this
it’s not about the brass watch or the gold trophy at the end
but the passage we walk that twists and bends
all the enemies as much as the friends
this thing has little to do with glory
we are all simply living to tell a good story

the first time
