Searching

Society says I only have so much time

Biology sagely agrees

But Life

And Will

And Experience

They keep asking me to wait

For better.

And I?

I seesaw between hope and despair

I venture and retreat

I try and falter

And still try

I will do what i can

Until i can’t no more.

accept/expect

why do we seek the acceptance of strangers

the ones we’ll never meet

the ones we’ll never see

the ones we’ll only know

through what they perhaps thought

is acceptable

to expect
