Ritual

by Nicole M. - Gemini

What I do
It's all ritual.
The chanting
The dancing
Everything I do
It's just ritual.

A means to an end
Isn't it what that is?
Just going through the motions
To get what I want in the end.
Immediate satisfaction
Or maybe you should just call it
Tiding me over (I guess it will do)
I'll do what I have to
To get what I want
And to make myself happy (in a superficial way)
Eventhough it has no real meaning
Left in what I do. (not a believer anymore)
I'll be satisfided
For the time being.
It'll have to suffice.
