Perspective
It's not that I belittle what you feel.
I know that it is real enough to you.
Such heady moments do have their appeal,
And I've been down that road a time or two.
But since I have been where you are before,
Perhaps I've a more jaundiced eye than you.
The thrills that leave you gasping, hurting, sore;
I've seen them from a different point of view.
I've seen them come and go, through rise or fall;
Some pleasant, or some ending painfully.
The only constant: I've survived them all,
And bear away the marks they've left on me.
You've only just begun to play the game.
Just give it time: You'll find it much the same.
