Rumor Has It
by
J. M. Hallett
You worry too much, perhaps
About what others think
Who cares if your life’s a mess
While their lives are rosy and pink?
For, of course, theirs really aren't, you know
They're adrift in this wasteland, too
Life, it seems, is simply a maize
We all must navigate through
And some go fast
Others don't
Some will try hard
Still others won't
Many are even enlightened, somewhat
While others have not a clue
And from the latter, come the ones, it seems
Who feel they must focus on you
