Poor To One

if one finds it hard to match everyone else's standards one makes new sets of them. revolutionary, yes, and always to the maker.
and if personal reassurance is all we ever live for then we're fine.

thing is, i have to convince you of my standards as well. well, yes, i can survive with the standards i newly set for myself, without convincing you. but wouldn't that be a life so bland and boo. beautiful, poetic, yes but you'd reach a point when it'd really get boring.

so the next time one finds it hard to match everyone else's standards, just imagine if you didn't.
