No Matter Where I Abide

If anything changes, I’ll just take it in stride. For now, I can still walk down the street and quite happily not get noticed. - Sam Claflin

alone in dense wilderness

careful of tangling bitterness

wide-eyed

chicken-fried

do or died

laugh

cry

ride

follow a guide

move it off to the side

always a bridesmaid, never a bride

handcuffed or hogtied

convicted before tried

careful of the snide one who lied

aversion to soul suicide

tears that never seem dried

taking it all in stride

no matter where i abide

Well, I know you are a poet and abiding in poetry.
I like the rhyme scheme and message.
You can be in the city, you can be in the country, it is what you want from life, where you wish to be and what do with your life.
Marvelously written.

you speak the undeniable but sometimes harsh truth ... :)
