Write and Chill

A revelation hit home today
I could hardly believe the cheek
Of the words now swarming my mind
That I’d ignored once at my peak.

So hard to break this habit
Harder to leave security
My comfort lay in ease of words
My crutch this came to be.

Trying to expand my mind
Learning new ways to write
Searching for ideas in the abyss
That appears to be hindsight.

If ever there was a time for change
That time would surely be now
If I had the chance to start again
I’d find my voice somehow.
