Janus (II)...

Raison d'etre...
Say have you two met?
Let me introduce you to my other half,
the even more quiet side of me
who can sit for hours
but not in line,
who would sing for his supper
but not take a dime
for putting on price on his passion
has always been hard for him to define,
almost a waste of time,
for that was not what brought me here
in the first place...

Yes, i've developed a taste for the attention
but haven't i already mentioned
mine are only but the best of intentions?
and you've heard where that can get you...
And what do you do
and how do you do it,
how does Life come at you
how do you get through it?
for some it's so easy to just do it
without ever wondering what else there might be...

So is it ennui or is it envy
of those who can so easily
do the things that paralyze me?
But do not criticize,
you may theorize
but will never realize
what lies behind these eyes,
nor will i,
but the bottom line
is we all try
each in our own way
and it is in the trying and attaining,
sometimes reaching but not gaining,
not the slowly dying and complaining
we find our own little peace of Heaven.
