evermore

the struggle of evermore
waging back and forth
companionship or solitude
freedom or shackles
or the complacency of understanding
either way, part of me will lose
how sad to never be fully satisfied
the potential never fully realized
or at least to this point in life
the curiosity keeps me going
the lure of the unknown
striving to find that middle ground
suppressing my hope and optimism
in a constant state of flux
never being happy
never being sad
just being
