Best Foot Forward

Stepping up and stepping out

Of the bottomless black hole

Drenched in self-doubt.

Prancing and posturing,

Best foot forward,

Battling pretenses

Battered about.

Listening lightly to

Whimsical wishes,

Boisterous banter

Buffets my brain.

Crowded cotillions of

Dolls dressed in merriment,

Paltry pretensions of

Meaningless mutter.

Why should I play

Your best foot game?

Time spent in agony.

Little to gain.
