A New Perspective

I live for myself

Selfish and free

Minimally burdened

by rent and small debts

My ambition

is in changing other's thinking

My optimism

keeps me alive

My pessimism

keeps me alone

My pride

keeps me poor

I live for my friends

and acquaintances

They inspire me

laugh with me

dance with me

It's unlikely that they realize

just how much they move me

or how I move them

I've grown another muscle

called sincerity

It gives me a new strength

a new perspective

liberation from fear

Welcome to the new me
