I walk my lonely road
accompanied
by only
my remaining pride.
You know not how
nor why
I hurt inside.
Neither seeking
nor wanting
your advice.
so thinly veiled
as being nice.
Your fast and ready
clichés and platitudes
nor that all too familiar
lofty attitude.
Your pretentious judgements
are lost on me
youth worn on your sleeve
for all to see.
We all have the answers
when we're still young.
Never climbed life's ladder
still on the first rung.
Find someone to impress
with your cocksure arrogance.
Don't waste time on ONE
so familiar with life's dance.
Once you've waltzed through life
conquered all you've seen
I'll kiss your feet<arse>
and pronounce you Queen.
Until then. stow it.
