I didn’t want to settle down because of my lively personality
But I now dream of settling down, is it because of lack of activity?
Been too relaxed, expecting it all to be handed on a plate
I’m not no Brad Pitt or Denzel
I’ll look like a Mali child at this rate.
Think you’re something special?
Toned up, sweet smile
If you think that’s all you need
That it’s enough, you’re in denial.
I want something meaningful
Something to call mine
Mindless, senseless, lustful desires only feel more pathetic in time.
But you become addicted, I become addicted
And it’s all around us, temptations lurking around every corner
You become experienced but innocence is fading
Like a drug, it’ll become a disaster
When you see it clearly, some people rarely
You won’t recognize your reflection
But you won’t see it in an instance
This one’s a creeper; it’ll miss your detection.

Fascinating contemplation.....it is so typical of you, with your delightful, dangerous, boyish touch of rebellion, and then manly tone of responsible reflection....I quite enjoyed it....seems to so perfectly express the mindset from immoral toward right.
LOL. Nice description! Thanks for the feedback, appreciated. Glad you liked it.
