What to touch on now..
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
