On Writing
__________________________________
Have I lost my intention in this digital jungle,
among algorithms and figments of friends?
*
Have I succumbed to the allure
of external validation and breadcrumbs?
*
Am I hiding an unsteady voice,
within the realms of reliable support?
*
Have I committed myself to self-sabotage
in acceptance of empty promises?
*
Does diversion make me feel content,
complacent enough to settle?
*
Has this easier option
changed my motivation?
*
Is this what I want? Is this what I deserve?
Nope.
*
I think I lost my balance on the steppingstones.
Splish-splash! I seek a new path.
