Float to the Top.

Some of us outrun,
our narcissistic  pasts,
and simply rise above it. 

We stop fighting it,
and deriding it,
and we naturally 
float to the top. 

The rest of us swallow it,
we've chosen to wallow in it. 

We give it so much strength,
that it easily gains,
in length and breadth. 

It monopolizes our timorous lives,
and surreptitiously, 
steals away our very breath  

So stop fighting it,
and deriding it,
and just float to the top.
