Entry Into the Unknown
August 19, 2010
Never before was I concerned,
my skin was always free of burns.
Kept in my spun cocoon, was I alone and ever in wonder
of all the things that were changing.
Doesn't it seem an alien idea? Change, I mean.
No one admits defeat of their life, or job, or comfort. They deny it until their throats are raw from the effort
to deter change.
Over, under, over, under;
Repeat.
Never sideways.
Don't go through with it; get cold feet.
When nothing changes,
Boredom ensues.
