I just don’t know,
Do you?
Measuring up is serious business,
And yet to be done
By anybody still searching
For that one instant,
Maybe two
Where they feel alive
And accepted.
That jolt of serotonin
Helps take you somewhere,
You feel.
You measure up
For just that heartbeat,
And then
It’s gone
Just as it came.
Left you with wondering how,
What,
When will be the next time
You’ll measure up.
