Complication

Complication,

it's a thing I want to avoid

The brain has created a structure 

in my mind

A layout of steps I must take 

tiptoe through to avoid making waves

But the heart and body don't care

and passion cries out

Wanting to cause ripples in the serene water

as that structure falls down

It can't stand to watch me sit

and pretend to be happy 

so unsatisfied with it

I'd rather be alone than lie to myself for a second

that's what I once said

About time that I did it

A life of dissatisfaction 

is what I fear,

but that's exactly where I'm headed 

if I don't make the change here

It's time to throw caution to the wind 

and ignore the scary situations

of the what if
