confounding truth
     the known is comfortable
and yet only because it is familiar
doesn’t familiarity breed…something unpleasant?

risk versus the bird in the hand scenario 
     which road to take, if it even comes to that
chances are the answers are already known
making them less appealing

the places I go
     circular roads, leading me back around
we are who we are, I suppose
change perhaps comes in simply moving forward
