I find comfort in the uncomfortable
Because I understand the complacency of comfort.
Blind eyes turning away from injustices
Blind eyes lie for if blind, why turn away?
Deaf ears cover themselves
To drown out the stirring.
A waking nation of souls not chained to the untruth truths of history
I find comfort in traversing the unknown
For if we only consume what is given to us
We will soon starve from the lack of
Independency needed to survive.
History is written by those unafraid to be uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable in their retailoring of a history that on the surface
Dresses-up their ancestors, A fable fitting nicely around the neck
An emblem tied as tight as a noose. Yet they look extremely comfortable.
When in truth it was the uncomfortable fate of others who
Granted the comforts so many depend on today.
I do not depend on the questionable past
Or the unseen future for my comfort
The gift of comfort is found in the presence of the present
When I am quiet and looking within
To discover the mysteries of the universe.
Understanding that universal comfort is only
A thought, a heartbeat, a breath away.
I find comfort in the uncomfortable.

When I was young, my grandmother would tell me the most unblieveable stories about her life. From that moment I was captured, I knew I wanted to continue her legacy. With two novels under my belt, I am currently trying to find them a home.
