Running from discomfort

Dopamine trains the brain

To lock you in a perpetual cage of suffering

You search for the wings of freedom

But you cannot fly with cloudy eyes

And you cannot fight without armor

The tide goes in and out

Discomfort touches your toes

And it feels like ice cold water

But you run

Once you feel the cold biting your feet

You don't let it settle in your bones

Enough to make your body shake

You pull away from yourself

You walk away from your own body

To seek out the dumpster of distractions

Being thrown at you

Just so you cannot fully feel

The discomfort

The body's intelligence woven with the soul

Connection is sacred responsibility

But yet it's so easy

To let yourself sink into the facade

There's countless hands

Leaning into the pit

Waiting for you grab ahold of them

But discernment is the only way

You can actually escape the abyss
