I know I must, but what difference does it make?

I do know I must,
awake and enter the stream of life

Busy myself with the everyday
Forge the tapestry of being

Make the market theme
Forget the real me

Though I am a single being
In a myriad jostling soup

I know I must, fit in
To make the day count.

But what if I do not want to
Fit in another's dynamic product

Just because I live
Just because I am

What difference will I make
If I chose to float or swim

Floating I flounder
Swimming is living

I want to fly into my possible
I want to be my own reality

I want to live
I want to just be life.
