CC and Me

I believed
I had an Enemy
Inside.
I called It
The Comfort Complex.

Complex Indeed,
made of
Narcissism,
Laziness,
Resistance to
Work, Effort, Labor,

Always
The Easy Way Out,
On the Path of
Least Resistance,

Comfort at Any Cost.

Rarely Do I
Fight
This Enemy.
Mostly I Surrender.

But then
I Heard
A Wise Man.

He Told Me
I Should
Love My Enemy,

Give Him
a Pet Name,
Pull Him Close
in Warm Embrace,

Ask for His Help.

Now I Call Him
CC, and
Intend to Make Him
My Friend.

I Will Ask Him to
Help Me,
See The Good
in Him,
Become Fond
of Him,
Be Glad He’s a
Part of Me.

Already He’s Begun
To Release His
Resistance.

He Tells Me
He Wants to
Help Me.

Good.

Because I Need
His Help.
