To Live

To Live

A Poem by Another Mayfly

I'll play the game.
I'll take my turn.

I shall wear the mask
And smile proud.
I shall open my mouth
And laugh out loud.

I'll take the car
The job
The life.
I'll play the game
And I'll do it right.

I'll live
The only way I can,
Behind a shroud
Of living happily.

Your words true and honest.
"I'll live
The only way I can,
Behind a shroud
Of living happily."
We do learn to accept less. Sometime we wanted too much. I like the logical ending to the poetry. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I enjoyed your poetry and you are welcome.
Yes, I feel the same way about the more superficial aspects of living in modern society. A good point and well put.
