12 Situations You say to seize the day 
and then shut your door to the world...
You say to be inspired, and happy, and sociable
and then you look the other way, and walk on...

I don't want to come to terms with myself
any more than I have... this perfect relationship...
with me, and no one else.
I am fine with being in rapture with this one...
I... am enough to take care of, without condition...

You tell those who matter...
that you want me to matter too...
but wonder silently, without instruction-
why I won't become something I'm not...
and forget to ask me, on the way, 
whether I wanted to become at all...

I think it's about time, for that moment 
when everything stops...
and leaves us standing alone, wondering 
with a desperate afterthought- 
whether we're alive at all...

I think it's time for you to understand
why I am not interested
or even willing
to try and behave
in any manner other than my own...
