ripples

i think i smile too much, laugh too little
jump too soon and love too fervently
depend on rarely, cry much too often
think too much, feel vaguely numb

I play too hard, enjoy too little
study the wrong things, listen to the wrong signs
fall from grace, total disgrace
befriend too easily, priorities in place

wallow in sorrows, drink my dispares
pretend to know, naturally cares
reads to widely, reaches out too few
selfish to others, nothing to give
