It's Absurd

 

It’s absurd how

The moment you give up, 

Everything falls into

Place.

It’s like God is up there

Waiting for you to trip over

Your shoelaces in order to give you

Ice cream.

I don’t want a treat for

Being submissive and letting

Life take the 

Reins. 

No, I’d rather be led towards

A brighter future by taking

Steps that I made in my own

Shoes. 

I don’t want to be handed

Hiking boots and told

“These will be easier.”

Sure.

So I sit back in my 

Dark, depressive cave 

And I think about all the ways I 

Gave up. 

And I talk to the person that’s

Supposed to help me fix all of these

Thoughts inside and she says,

“It’s okay.

Have you been trying?”
And I simply reply, 

“Well, uhm, see, it’s complicated.”

I meant to try today since I didn’t 

Yesterday.

And now I feel like I’m in a

Never-ending cyclone of 

Tasks I will never

Complete. 

So here I sit,

Waiting to be told what to do.

Because the Universe seems to know
More than I do.
