it all
started with a want
the want turned
into a need
scarcity
is overwhelming
a rational
plan has to succeed
the opportunity
cost is high
while
resources are depleted
yet I
still have to make a choice
before the
cycle is repeated
spiraling
down into depression
I am
nearly about to yield
then you
appeared on my domain
I’m back
on the playing field
the
competition is very tough
options
are there for you to rate
while I
assess my real value
all I can
do is to speculate
you opted
to be normative
disregarding
the positive side
without
thinking of the risks
you joined
me for a bumpy ride
it is not
an optimum choice
trade-offs
might hurt you more
and the
contract we’ve made
is less
than what you’ve asked for
expectations
were elevated
up to an
alarming degree
unintended
consequences
has tested
both our volatility
yet
despite the heavy cost
we’ve
reached an equilibrium
you demand
while I supply
we’ve
found a breathing room
projections
were then created
while current
situations fluctuate
our consumptions
went up high
there were
desires we can’t satiate
comparison
became an option
a
partnership became a liability
the final
option left on the table
was to
grant you your autonomy
there is
no more balance
bargaining
is out of the question
how can we
reach a break-even
if we have
the wrong equation?
we’ve
tried to be more productive
but inefficiency
is running deep
even our emotional
investments
can’t save
this broken relationship
trying to
find more reasons
to keep
our mutual dependency
but our opposing
viewpoints
triggered a
bounded rationality
