i_searched_my_notes_for_the_word_blood
warmthofrelease piddling and peddling
middling and meddling
sitting and sulking and settling

haven't looked in forever but
I know that I'm never forgetting

what I sold to the reaper:
the bruises from my teachers
breadcrumbs of a deceiver
and an auctioned bloodletting

I do think that some people need to feel challenged, and that they will look to challenge themselves constantly if a challenge hasn't naturally presented itself and/or if they don't feel properly engaged or stimulated or helpful or purposeful or dominant or bloodlust-quenched or whatever motivates that urge. And that a problem is just a challenge with a negative association. But there are also definitely people who just want everything to be easy all the time. And perhaps that's much more boring by comparison, but neither type of person is more or less likely to feel bored or unsatisfied. No matter what their standards or interests are.

sorry if I was
hard and cold as a fighter
even though I know
I behaved more like a writer
I was finding the world
I put myself in the center
sorry_I_locked_myself
away for the winter
I was
trying
to learn...
how to love...
the taste...

...of my own blood

if it's the blood of a lion or the blood of a swan
it all measures the same

anyone who ever felt like
they had nothing to lose
could probably use a change of attitude
