Investment

There has alway been this disconnect

Between me & the life I’m living

Since I technically live

Here & now, yet

Finding it difficult

To fully invest myself

In this temporary reality, since

There’s oh~so much more for me  to see

Than the petty squabbles of this small world

Even so, they may be petty, though, not insignificant

So although I have accepted whatever outcome

This reality ultimately chooses for itself

I believe I’ve behind to find balance

In caring for this world’s outcome

Thus, separating myself from

Failure that might exists

Outside of my efforts
