The Art of Giving Up

Burning desire to lay in bed all day,

Mundane things need to be done,

Laundry - errands - dinner, it's all hell.

Responsibility seeps through,

Nagging at your core,

Dragging you to one thing to the next,

The demons reside in your mind,

They bring you down,

Trapping you in a horrendous mindset,

You want to run but you can't get away from the ultimate monster - yourself.

Fleeing, that's the answer,

But it's not.

Rotting away doesn't help,

You grow tired with yourself,

With everything,

Life ticks on without you,

Leaving you in the dust,

Feeling abandoned like a bag of garbage on the side of the backroad.

Falling apart...

The alarm clock rings,

You wake up and begin again from the start.
