The infernal comfort zone...



Here's a piece inspired by an interview I listened to earlier with Bill Murray; self growth is the hardest and most fucking painful thing we ever do as humans...

Our Refrain

We,
breathing, moving
locked moral dilemmas…
each time I augment my success;
my evolution
but cannot hold the swell.

I cannot break the refrain,
I must fall back.
Just once more
and then again.
Further,
harder than last week.

As I crash myself
into the native safety
Of my shame, control.
These Known failures
are a comfort.

For the pain
Like lashes
Against my desires,
My dormant spirit.
Is still subdued;
Torture I can handle and steer.
My palatable certainty.

Unlike the start, unruly waves of pain
biding.
Waiting ahead
in the lands of my potential.


I'm currently practicing and recording for the commission which hopefully in theory is setting me up nicely to record my other poetry to go up on here. It should be on it's way soon enough.
