Everybody Bosses Me Around
Everybody bosses me around
And I let go.
Opinions, points of view,
An extroverted personality
With an introverted character,
The inner in, the outer out,
I think, I want,
And when it doesn’t work,
I wait –
Sometimes for years – it doesn’t matter.
Fate has ways that shatter
All one’s inner-outermost desires,
With results un-thought of.
Not letting wish or viewpoint haunt.
One weighs the want.
Things aren’t that important
And I’ve won.
