Poetry Blues

What is it that compels us to 
forego
what is.
The known.
Fact, 
proven or held true by the 
many.
Excuse ourselves from family 
and friends.
Step into a moving river 
Swim against the tide 
And try 
To alter the current,
Refract the shadow
Refine the flow,
with words 
that really define us.
