hanging out in 3 feet of water can be fun
but it's not swimming

swimming is in the deep water

metaphor

life is in all water
truly living is in the deep end

too many people I know hang out in the shallow part
safer there
simpler

for some reason, not me

not saying I'm better
but maybe better equipped for life challenges
maybe

the shallow people aren't for me
nor I for them
I love them, though
just can't hang with them for long

metaphor

God bless WeThePeople

THE SHALLOW END OF THE GENE POOL

A Lot of People that I Know are Living at the SHALLOW END OF THE GENE POOL.

Every Once in Awhile, some Superficial, Airhead will Ask Me: "How Come You're So Deep?"; a Comment Meant to subtlety Disparage Me, but only Serves to Reveal their Shallowness and Superficiality

I think it's the enemy
affecting people differently
but I'm not sure

like maybe the enemy sprinkled dumbness and it didn't hit me like others
just not sure

or maybe I was protected by God for a reason
again, not sure

I really don't want to be different
it feels strange and lonely sometimes

but I can only be me
no one else
so, I roll with it

still, if I can find common ground with a less deep person
I meet them there

Thanks for your response
