Crime of Comfort

entry picture

 

It's morning again
                            and
                                   I'm trapped in.

Out of bed
                 but
                       into the same lie I roll.

I have no alibi
                       for
                            committing the sin

of deep-diving
                       into
                             this "cozy" 9-to-5.

"Take a risk!

             Crawl out of this!"

                             my insides plead.

"Answer!"
                I cry,
                        "Please come to me...

bound and warm
                           or
                                 cold and free?!"

Yes Phil, perhaps the grass isn't actually greener, but that doesn't stop my desire to see it. Thanks for the FREE advice haha ;)
