Fog of Neglect

resisting change
has not
done me
any favors
losing track
how times evolve

perpetually convinced 
that my priorities
line up
yet neglecting
to reevaluate

my brain kept in a fog 
I’m quite delusional
reluctant to question
my ways of being askew

I had to FAV this before I even made it to the comment box! It is so easy to slide into a comfortable-but-unhealthy complacency in life... love the lines "Resisting change has not/ Done me any favors", I know this is true- and this poem is a needed (and well-written) reminder to keep myself in check! ;)
