My sanity

My grounding

My essence

My being

My thoughts

My hopes

My dreams

They are all fleeing

All that is me

And harnessed within

Crumpled in my mind

Thrown out on a whim

For the need to fit in

Is something many seek

To volunteer all you hold dear

Is depressing and meek

Do not throw away

All that you know

For the chance to agree

For the oppourntity to please

Stand in your convictions

On solid foundations

With time you will find

The right people were worth your patience.
