Get a Life!

The taunt rings out,
mocking normal,
trivial, mundane.
Don't they understand?
We tried the weird, the slick...
lives of decadence, years of lunacy.
Get a life? If their jeers
had hit our triggers,
if they'd yelled in yester-year,
we might have been compelled
to answer, to rebut, refute...
but then, no, not then
but now we have no need to answer
but nod and know
we found recovery, sanity,
meaning...
we found our lives.
