Sensible

Suzanne Mondoux · 14 July 2020

They say don’t be silly Stop being such a dreamer Learn to live in this world You have to be sensible Be sensible with your life Make sensible decisions

S for Stupid E for Ego N for No S for Scared I for Impossible B for Blame L for Lost E for Escape

I’m not so stupid to leave myself My ego does not know me There’s no No in my vocabulary I’m only scared of not being myself I long for the impossible when you tell what is and what isn’t I don’t blame you, but me if I listen to you I’m lost if I become how you see me I escape my soul when I disregard me

So please tell me how sensible you want me to be What’s the gain in being so sensible Where do you find such words Where do you find such an existence What is there for me if I’m sensible What’s in it for you, that’s what worries me That’s doesn’t seem too sensible to me

Stay with your sensible self And I’ll be my sensible me, and that’s the best of me In my eyes, and not your eyes Only my soul senses my sensibility
