Complacency –
such a convenient place to rest,
such an easy place to hide,
yet it’s the very safety I should resist.
Because…
I sit
on my hands
and
I wait
on the trends
before I take a step outside the door.
To stop & see
before moving is to lack all trust
in anyone or anything outside of
that which I can truly touch.
Because….
I see
just what I want
and
I feel
for only what I’ve sought
even as fleeting as those things usually are.
Oh my apathy
is so much worse than ever before,
and my indifference is an infection,
dragging me down to a dirty floor.
Because….
I hurt
so badly
and
I hope
so weakly,
believing that I don’t deserve much more.
I have settled for this meager life….

I’m finally figuring that out.
Lovely piece of writing here.
