Foolish Compromise

I dream of the feeling, of not feeling too much Being pleasantly mild, unbothered by touch I imagine, I’m average and pleased to know Achievements take effort. I’ll go where I’ll go As for uncertainty, I’d choose not to dwell But go with the flow, through life I would sail A change of direction would not stunt my growth To new opportunities, I’d dare not be loath I’d swiftly adapt as my options evolved No chores left undone. No problem unsolved I’d begin living life, beyond my emotions Concrete and 3D, new doors would be opened But even this longing, is only dream deep The cost would be high and path, far too steep To compromise intensity, passion and brains Would flush my own gifts down society’s drain I’ll accept my quirks, extreme highs and lows I’ll live my best life, without letting “me” go
