So you called my website boring?

You called it boring. Now you are staring at the door, not the house.

a consequence of action

Simplicity is beautiful, but now the back hums louder
complexity layered on complexity,
not to impress,
but to be discovered.

not what shouts to be noticed,
but what waits patiently
for those willing to step inside.

Behind that calm button
are tangled wires of thought,
late nights stitched together
with trial, error, and borrowed brilliance.

I cheated.
I copied.
I traced the footsteps of those
who walked this path before me
and pretended the road was always smooth.
