Support System Roulette Wheel of Fortune

Always told by wannabe Mr. Blackwell clones to stick with my own kind
Decided to disregard that advice entirely
Preferred to hang out with other personalities instead of just one
Hard to fathom that not everyone thinks the same way
Once you hit a particular number, that growing up falls into place
Apparently, that's just a pipe dream to have when you're younger
Few have it figured out, while the rest never seem to get it together
The right having more responsibility than the left side of the equation
One trying to be supportive without coddling their mate
Not in my nature to overlook reality, but to not be cruel about it either
Neutrality and realism cannot go well in this equation
Trying to be like a line in the infamously known Egyptian sand
Not making my opinions too obvious about certain subjects
Don't agree with the coping mechanisms of others
As to how they handle a fork in the road of life
Instead of dealing with things head on; they use band aids
To cover up the wounds and avoid owning up to their mistakes with family
Best to be upfront with the truth; instead of burying your head in a sea of denial
Made the reveal ten times worse when the truth was exposed
Understandable that some level of embarrassment reared its ugly head
No one revels over making a blunder at any point in their lives
People celebrate success and try to gloss over their failings
Letting them linger below the surface and pop up when things are too comfortable
Rocking the boat of stability every now and again
Some can just ride the societal waves at the same pace and level
Others can never find their groove; just a simple fact of the rat race
Time to accept that normalcy won't be in the cards
Finding what makes you happy and relatively sane was the avenue to go
Forget trying to relive the supposed glory days Springsteen sang about
Never a good idea to do so in the slightest
Especially when returning to present days blues
Focus on moving forward; never backwards
Try taking a side street instead because a new discovery could await
Patience was a virtue that neither person in the relationship had
But it was better to go on the adventure together than it was alone
Let's see how it goes day by day.
