Got invited to a party called life.
It was a must attend event.
A show with unknown time limit.
It comes with an audience
demanding some kind obedience
a smile deceitful in compliance.
I don't know what emotions to wear
for I was not prepared for such a gathering
of short acquaintance and many distant strangers.
It is a two sided show.
Light and darkness in more ways than one.
Hours to go emotional showers
people of powers wearing clothes to their standing
but really pushing their boat out required understanding.
I looked at the bar from a far decided to wait
when the crowd had cleared
Perhaps the drinks I feared.
Choice and decision, gave me brief freedom
Perhaps wise indecision a retreat
to save the matter for another day
Perhaps a better state of play
