dependent needs

what we would not be carrying around

if the elders of this tribe

actually knew what they we doing


need and wants

and hopes and dreams

and endless ambitions


the road to nowhere to be


being is what we are


in all this confusion

we just try to be

what we think we ought to be

or what we want to be

which is even worse

for our self


we are being

rejecting its self

and hoping or wanting to be

something else


which ain't actually an option

and the attempt is a real bummer
