My Why

All things I do not need call my name and draw me near.
Everything I do not need is everything I want.
Romance is never in the shelter.
My lyrics do not sing to sustenance tune.
Magic is not in the water, but in the alcohol.
Excitement is the forbidden lover.
Contentment is the cigarette after.
Running makes me feel alive,
Beauty is magnetic.
I dance around responsibility,
I question my own dignity.
Survival does not interest me;
I, I live for poetry.
