it's that simple

where are you going
with all of
this, she asks
you politely.
all this stuff,
you keep writing
about, repeating
yourself. what
are you doing
with your life,
where are you
going?
how do you answer
a question
like that.
you just want to
wake up the next
day and do it all
over again.
stay healthy,
stay fit,
have some money
in your pocket.
find some love
along the way.
some satisfaction
in a job well,
a poem well
written.
you don't want
to hurt anyone
or be hurt by
anyone, you want
a good nights sleep.
what else does
she want to hear?
it's really that
simple.
