The streets fill with eager people

who wish to make purchases they think they need

There is much color and chatter on these streets

Everything appears so enticing

Remember me for faster sign in

I used to belong to the crowded street of people

Now I sit on my porch and watch

as the ship of my old self I once knew fades away

The physician tells me I’m in crisis

I choose reflection

As I hold my true self
In a stance of surrender
