The Path of Least Resistance
December 23, 2014
I took half my life
To figure out
That I was on an incline
Looking up
And I found solace in the
Progress
I had made.
I used my mind like you'd use
A little round peg
To calculate the merits of
The beckoning square hole.
I climbed that hill begrudgingly
Wildly at odds with my two feet
And wishing for the moment I would fall.
And I left my dreams back in the clouds
Where they belong.
And I never raised my eyes above the
Comfort of my vision,
And I feared, most of all,
For the mirror
At the top.
