I Am An Ant

Defending others is what I do.
Carrying things fifty times my weight is not.
Rather, I spend my days
     being stronger in a different way.
          Strong is my mindset,
               Strong is my will.
That is the way to be.

Being social is what I do.
Digging tunnels is not.
Rather, I spend a lot of my time
     hiding from the world.
          Nuzzled up in a chair,
               reading a book.
That is the way to be.

Being caring is what I do.
Predictable, I am not.
Rather, I like to keep people on their toes
     and always guessing.
          Being spontaneous
               is always more fun.
That is the way to be.
