I could explore the clash of release And the continued pressure that comes with it Where openness and strength Seem at odds and intrinsic
A strange little paradox there What can I say for the connotations That breach quietly into life Hidden *** notes in the song
I notice one thing when I'm not self involved As can be true of all of us There's a new adversity Adversity without adversity in that sweet little irony
As safety and security become thematic As the glaring tunnel vision of problems disperses We are faced with stagnation And the new guilty challenges it provides
The hedonic treadmill The thirst for more The guilt of less in others And discontentment, when we should know better
Though adversity can be intrinsic to me Though my growth has created colourful threads I still empathise as I sit in sameness And burst out of it with the need for more
Because we aren't meant to sit still We have legs for a reason
