Slip it In

Very quiet sneaky hopes begin to move in.

Dreams and even worries suddenly have a moment in your day.

You used to know the levels of shit you would take. Now that scale can fluctuate.

Things change when you are more. When you are less, things just go away.

To have a goal you must open yourself up to defeat. There is a great selling point.

The olds days of happy indifference meet all those old days of teddy bears, warm cribs and never having to do your taxes.

For your troubles you gain freedom. You gain choice.

But you still have to choose freedom. Every fucking day. As hard as you can.

Deep down, full body, brain to soul freedom.

Choose it. Side with it. Keep the embers hot.

Or you will be owned.

Not in the good way.

Not in the fun, late Saturday night, hands around throat as you lust and sweat way.

No such luck.

You’ll wake up in the dark trying to figure out how you came to where you are.

Nothing wrong with being more.

Nothing wrong with adding to your life.

Just make sure the starting point doesn’t get lost in the dash.
