Still Alive
Still Alive...
The cancer of mediocrity has taken root in my character.
I seek only that which is comfortable.
My goal is that which will require the least effort on my part.
I have become complacent.
My future, as blank as the expression on my face.
No aspirations. No plan. No point.
I just am, with only my existence to validate me. I am certain I have begun to not even care or notice the weeds growing up around my immobile legs.
Wrapped up tight, pressed down, beaten and exhausted from the struggle, I can hear the shallow echo from my broken spirit. Calling from the depths of this void I've created.
Ever so faintly, she calls to me...
"I'm... still... alive!"
