High above the city I sat,

without a care in the world.

As life moved on around me,

I chose for my voice to not be heard.

I spoke out just too often,

and became much too loud.

I realized all along,

that I wasn’t a fan of the crowd.

Being in large groups startled me,

as they laughed till their faces were sore.

I realized that by being alone,

I got to admire the city some more.

So, as I sat, high above the city,

continuing not to care.

I realized life was more peaceful,

when you didn’t dare.
