Skating

I’m skating on thin ice;
I’m just skating by and I’m gonna fall,
and that’s alright;

I’m skating in a figure eight,
I’m just skating by on a decrepit lake,
and that’s alright;
It’s better than something new;

I’m skating around skirting hazards,
I’m just skating by in an endless circle,
and that’s alright;
No need to make any changes;

I’m skating at a familiar pace;  
I’m just skating by not being pushed,
and that’s alright;
No need for a little bit more;

I’m skating below unseen visionary,
and that’s okay;
Said nobody ever.
