My nature turning into that
Of a nature around me —
Calm, still, unbothered, and
Content with the ordinary
I’m shifting inward
It’s my raison d’être
Their nature continues
As is
Partly staying inward but
Mostly spilling outward and
Keeping pace with the world around
It’s their raison d’être
I can’t snatch away
Their raison d’être to
Fulfill mine and
They can’t take away
Mine to satisfy theirs
