Compromise

I've said this before, but the majority of our 'problems' are trivial, and often self-inflicted. Perspective is everything; often glancing outside our current circumstance allows us to view the greater picture and realize what it is we can & cannot control.

How many times must we compromise to achieve a desired result?

How many times must we question our inner beliefs and compromise in order to align with a different idea?

Slow eruption
of struggle that escapes my lungs
as I gasp for free air
having an affair with conflict
yet maintaining full value of self is a prospect
respect intellect
dismiss the stigma
the mystery of life remains an enigma
