I will get out from under
my rain cloud; put away
my hopeless situation;
fill in
the mud hole I've
wallowed in so the
sun couldn't touch my skin;
let wild flowers grow over the
sleepwalk beaten path
visited
and revisited...
I've long suspected,
but now I do believe
these were all chosen destinations,
safe houses
of settling,
secure self-sabotage,
a low bar for half-hearted achievement.
The
same lame methods of self-neglect,
coffee, booze, and cigarettes,
empty sex
and cold hearts...
I'm no more special
than any of the other fat
and skinny asses—
we're all sending ourselves
to our deaths,
and it's not painless or
quick,
in the least.
But it's easy.
I've grown tired of easy.
My body aches with atrophy.
My soul aches from apathy.

thank you for the kind words. i'm trying to light a fire under my ass, get to where i should've been years ago.
maybe let go of the where i shoulda been years ago, and that will help you to get where you could be right now?
good point
fill in

I love these lines.
