363 13A Poem by Kain SmithA very short reflection on my state over the past few weeks.
When did I cease to hunger?
When did ambition give way To lassitude and "good enough"? The me that I was Would be disgusted By the lack of forward momentum I show now. Is it such a bad thing That I am now content? Is it such a sin That I feel happy? Rather than constantly struggle, Should I find happiness where I am? Or should I scrap, fight to regain That fire, that hunger which once I had? This I ponder as I try Almost in vain To stoke the fires of creativity Beneath my feet. I can only hope this will be Enough to prevent complacency.
