in a world populated by billions of personalities
those with a sophrosyne state of mind are rare
they seem to possess a picture-perfect life
forcefully beaming a graceful disposition
their pulsating joy palpable
and the inherent radiance spreads outwards
they appear centered in every facet of their existence
but are they really

this sojourn makes my lips beam
look at us
the adventurous traveling novices
with cloudless skies and decent temperatures
the view is marvelous, darling
thank you for taking this trip with me
i hope i leave this world
pretty
and not in the sense
that i’ve treated it well
(although i did)
with my presence
and not that i vainly want
to be good looking when i do
i mean
i don’t want to be jaded
not ruined by it
and not consumed wholly by the living of it
you know
exit classy, sassy and a little bad-assy
leave with a smile on my face
because i enjoyed the ride tremendously
