A Poem by Kain Smith
"

A very short reflection on my state over the past few weeks.

"
When did I cease to hunger?
When did ambition give way
To lassitude and "good enough"?

The me that I was 
Would be disgusted 
By the lack of forward momentum
I show now.

Is it such a bad thing
That I am now content?
Is it such a sin
That I feel happy?

Rather than constantly struggle,
Should I find happiness where I am?
Or should I scrap, fight to regain
That fire, that hunger which once I had?

This I ponder as I try
Almost in vain
To stoke the fires of creativity 
Beneath my feet.

I can only hope this will be
Enough to prevent complacency.
