Everything pulls at your focus
Everything steals your energy
Everything pulls you to places
that do not support your ART
or your MUSE
And you struggle against it
And you try to not let it steal
a moment of anything that matters
And it captures you
binds your hands
blindfolds you to look inside
at the unknown
and the unknowing
Your world is an inner struggle
to stay peaceful
and kind
and real
When all you want to do
is crawl inside and somehow
purge
Purge the dangerous cells
remove them with your finest scalpel
Surgically reducing
the fear
Surgically giving you your future back
