communal existence
coexisting pods
grouped
according to
some agreed upon
need
of
the others
somewhere
along
life
things changed
youthful ways
gave way to
acceptable
goals
and
decisions
of
the others
no longer
was it deemed
possible
to fulfill dreams
or
wander off into
the nothingness
of
tomorrow
everything
had to comply
with
the plans
of
the others
confirmation
of
self
personal identity
and
satisfaction
relied
upon
the others
questions
only arose
as death
became apparent
and
the walls
of compliance
were weakening
it was then
that
the others
really
didn’t matter
anymore
