Member-only story
Status Quo
It’s what I know
The weather today is bleak
Matches my mood perfectly,
The world has again returned
To its black and white state.
I find it comforts me
As it’s what I know,
There’s no unexpected
There’s no expectation.
It is as it is
As it’s all meant to be,
The heart once more
Closes, locks, darkens.
The world returns
To its status quo,
The borders shrink
Back into place.
I tried to step outside
The comfort of its walls,
But there’s no gain
Except unexpected pain.
I prefer my solitude
My small world,
Silly to rock the boat
Trying something new.
