A Life Spent
Fear dominates my life
In a multitude of ways
Can others read my thoughts
or know how I feel toward them?
I try to fill my life with kindness
But sometimes it’s only pretend
Those who are loud, self-centered,
Vulgar and rude are just not for me
I strive to minimize drama
In my nice and peaceful life
Some seem to thrive on gossip
From which I try to escape
Who am I to judge the way others live?
Or for them to judge me?
I prefer to remain in my life of
Writing, serenity and quietude
