With desperation dripping off my chin
I scurry around this way and that
Trying to catch up the herd that
Knowingly is leaving me behind
I trip on stones I couldn’t see
Through all the rainstorm on my face
And stumble even further back behind
With need that pushes hunger off the list
I strive for things not physical
But nebulous and indistinct
That shimmer in the distance
And are always out of reach

Brings to mind an old pop song from the 70's or 80's. It said "I'm in with the in-crowd...I go where the in-crowd goes. I'm in with the in-crowd...I know what the in-crowd knows"
Why do we long for that? Especially those who say they don't.
