A short, unrhymed poem about what a misfit I am. |
I don't believe in 'rise and shine' I dont believe in over-achievement I don't believe in rugged individuals (I don't believe) in movers-and-shakers (I don't believe) in go-getters (I don't believe) in trading stocks and building investment portfolios I don't believe that all this business is necessary I don't believe in having lots of stuff I don't believe that the size of your house is the measure of your worth I don't believe in marrying young and having children I don't believe in lawnmowers that you ride on I don't believe in nascar or football or motorcross I am a brooder a ponderer a reader I like short stories and poems and some novels I like philosophy and science I am a loner a brooder a ponderer I get watery-eyed from music and lose myself in a fantasy film i write and plan on leaving a written record behind when I die I'm not close to my family I am a loner, who dreams of falling in love I am a gazer I reminisce I'm good with words I night-dream and day-dream and imagine and I believe that this makes my life more thorough and not 'but a dream' I waste entire days and evenings not even bothering to watch TV what does all this make me? |
