Sitting silent in the shadow
comfortable in the disease
Panicked in the peacefulness
no real reason for unease
Pass a day within a confine
‘better off’ you calmly say
No real reason to have faith in you
after failing in your way
If change means looking further
from the complacent view you hold
then taking small steps forward
may only limit what could unfold
Your confidence is the old friend
that you’ve sent into the fire
He cried out for you to stay and fight
but you chose your own desire
It easier to stay within the grip
of the things that you believe
A view unlike your own
may only blind the way you see
That goal may be a blessing
but all is trouble where you dwell
You’ve missed out on fruitful pleasure
you like your private hell
Another day of regret and loathing
hindsight failings haunt the mind
Over and over you return again
to those places far behind
You wait another moment
the time is never right
You find reasons to remain unchanged
You ignore the guiding light
All is well within your motion
Progressive woes are what you choose
You are caught up in the madness
of the labels others use
Step outside and look within you
Find that underlying cause
The symptoms of the pain inside
only illuminate the flaws
Take the path not taken
moving forward in new ways
Don’t spend the time here wasted
don’t you wait another day
You can move an entire molehill
the mountains you create
The Lord will not forsake you
within the motion that awaits
Great writing. Thank-you.
