“Charge this to my room number”
Isn’t that what we say
When we over indulge?
We can’t pay the cheque
So we put it on the card
And pay later
– a whole lot more…
If I were in that situation
I’d see the senseless nature of it
And take a chance at
Not being popular
Over
Indulging beyond my means
This over indulgence
This
“Popularity contest”
Is seen on many levels
Not just food
And money
But sex
And friendships
And generosity
Where giving
Is a means to an end
Can’t we accept
Our own finite contributions in the world?
Not everyone has to be the hero
Most of us are just
Ordinary human beings
We don’t all need to be on some
Grand mission or other
Making a mark in the world
Why not just enjoy your time here
Without putting grand expectations on yourself
Beyond your means?
If that were the case
You could just relax
And be happy being who you are
A human being
On a quiet journey of your own
No competition
Just you and your story
Of giving love
And letting love in
Breathe into that for a while
It’s okay to be someone
With a little story
Simple
Is something to celebrate
Without a doubt
