Resisting Temptation

 I hold my breath because I don't want to fall

Into chaotic wisdom

Dark and dismal

Alluring and freeing

Addictive and

Quietly devastating 

I pick up and rise

But I won't allow myself to fall

No matter how liberating it might be in the moment

Pain and destruction wait on the other side

So I rise

I pick myself up into my surroundings 

I let the sound of social media echo chambers

The hum of generators

And the rush of traffic going by in the distance

Like the white noise inside of a sea shell

Nourish me into distraction

Distraction is my meditation, surrender was my downfall

How do I let go once again?

And relax into oblivion
