Optimization Game

Welled up with choked emotions
Holding tight grief of letting go
Find an ear to pour it in
Look around there's an ear so


No balm better than a smiling face
No balm better than a perky tone
No balm better than a hand in hand
No pain worse than suffering alone


Letting go can be cleansing
If you see the convoluted fun
Just don't fill the void in a hurry
Bad filler is worse than none


Life is but an optimization game
And dollops of macabre constraints
Winning is finding the best of stations
Losing is just being restrained

On and on it goes

See that wave running
Running to the shore
Crash into its embrace
Like there's nothing more

See that shore waiting
Dry, waiting to be quenched
Soak the mighty wave in it
Let go through fists clenched

Together now and part
On and on, it goes on
So do arms on the clock
You and I just live on
