Progression!

So, I have returned! It has been entirely too long since I have been here.

I am returning now, and I am working on a whole new me! I'm trying to get in shape, getting out and doing things, and having fun doing it! I'm back writing poetry and it should only follow that I start sharing again.

In following with my self improvement I will attempt to be more consistent and post at minimum once a week. Starting today. Hooray!

So here it is! A new poem. It's fresh, never seen before, one week old, and without a title... I know, it is sad. I still struggle with that particular part of things. It is my most frustrating failing when writing. I think this one is appropriate for this post as well since it deals with complacency and shaking it off.

How long have I slept?
Belly full of complacency
Heart full of fear
Going nowhere...
If it isn't here.

The fire in my gut
Banked for the night.
Still not stoked up.
Where is the sunlight?

Look up!
See through wiser eyes!
Rip off the blinders!
Disbelieve your own lies!
-Constance

What do you think? Isn't it appropriate?
