A Third World

 

There is a discrete world,

Apart from the two well-known,

Yes, there exists a third,

The world of the lone


Sometimes I do camouflage,

Between these two

And I do it with such panache,

That, the difference, they never knew


The sphere of the wedded,

The sphere of the split,

And I don't know where I'm headed,

I don't perceive where I might fit


Yes, this third is freedom from responsibility,

It has a freedom unknown,

Yet, I dwell on the possibility,

Of having someone, I can call my own


But right now I must live in the present,

And rejoice to the fullest,

I must live with my content,

Till time passes the toughest


The toughest phase of all,

Also has an end,

Life is no dance hall,

And I am tougher, my friend.
