I will live by a balance of truth and lies,
all the while kissing the lips of opportunity.
I will hug my friends and hug my foes;
I'll be screwed over for screwing others over.
I'll straighten out my thoughts because they'd only bleed.
I'll fall in love with another; and then fall in love with another
I shall cry in private, when public life beats me down, but
I shall laugh in glory, and I'll smile to win.
I'll reach the top of the world and recklessly fall down
and you will like me and you will not;
I will keep you, or maybe not.
I will keep walking but then I'll stop.
I shall die one day.
But I lived a thousand others.
