A Lonely Normativist Rationalizing His Existence

I was never lonely
Until I the wind made my bones ache

I was never happy
Until I understood what I was seeing in a woman's smile

I have been told
The world is all we have
Unfortunately,
I believe it is true

I went searching for something different
All I found was the same

I will not live with shame;

While you distress
I will be true

While you lie
I will be acquitted due to your guilt
