I've outgrown friends and lovers,
regular coffee and faded jeans,
pool tables and Miller Lite,
and all the players behind the scenes.

I tend to hang with the center-stage crowd
my coffee is nothing but gourmet,
my friends have titles, lovers have style,
and I really like it this way.

I wear only designer clothes
from those fancy department stores
that I once turned my nose up to
but now it's seeped into my pores.

The high life...
fine wine and intelligent talk.
Sadly, there's no place here
for those who can't walk the walk.

And there were plenty I left behind.

Well said.

All life is the journey and the costume choices we make along the way.  Tastes and needs change; if they did not change there could be no growth for the soul.
