Cool, Calm and Collected

by Joe Cramer

I dance around you
and you never really know it.
I try to tell you,
yet never really show it.

I fidget, I worry, I scurry
through the day
desperately trying to look
cool, calm and collected.
I have neglected
my penchant
for living life
"on the side."

I want to run and hide
but this is never so.

This much I truly know.

So I simply hide
my addictions.

A penchant I know all too well my friend...and enjoy...in addition to the real McCoy. Thanks for the well worded reminder.
