The Comfort zone
The Quiet Work of Becoming
Challenge accepted.
The acceptance of misguidance
pulls us to each end of the earth—
places never traveled.
Did you hear
that a dream spoken out loud
is stolen by those with real desire?
So hide ideas under fear
to steer thieves away
from your true interest.
Transform in silence
while those around you
see only what they’re supposed to.
Mention only what makes dreams safe.
Give fake love
to prove that care lives within you.
Keep intention
wrapped inside the depths of truth,
remaining unseen
to those too eager to embrace fate.
Smile like everything makes sense—
like bad means hope
to the one covered in lies.
Give up.
Throw in the towel.
Stop trying.
(The gift you possess
needs no effort to be achieved.)
The joy found in moments of inspiration
only survives battles
that end in victory.
But life forces losses
upon each person
without warning.
So burrow beneath war.
Stay clean—
to evade constant damage from the outside.
Leave passion from inside
at every destination,
to ensure your remembrance.
Engrave the essence you possess
on the world
with every opportunity—
ensuring the expansion
of the comfort zone.
