Decision

It seems we’ve decided.
to set something important aside
to go it alone.
Though it goes against the grain

It seems we’ve decided.
to wander through a world full of someones
to look away from all the other someones
Though it’s hard to stop seeing pain

It seems we’ve decided
To become spectators of heartache
To become purveyors of self-reliance.
Though we know better

It seems we’ve decided
To let drifters drift in unnoticed grief
To let the struggling struggle with unbearable burdens
As though they are invisible

Though they are never invisible.
Not completely.
Never mind what we’ve decided.
