Have I Grown Too Complacent?

Shaunmatthewcpoetry

Taking my time but maybe I'm taking too long, 

Stagnant and sitting, wondering what's wrong.

Not sure where I'm heading, is the old me shredding? 

Hot sweats haunt me, need to just change my bedding. 

Plotting actions barely but have I grown too complacent?

Where do the other dimensions lie and are they even adjacent?

    The questioning in this poem leave a lingering feeling of unrest and the raising the issue of other dimensions takes it to another level. Well done

  • Tristan Robert Lange

    Great job Shaun! What really lands is the tension between plotting change and staying still. That question of complacency doesn’t feel rhetorical…it feels like something you’re genuinely turning over, again and again. That repetition gives the piece its weight. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
