Woe is me, for I am sad. The saddest of sad, for the reason being selfish. I feel myself fading into the background. I'm not mysterious, I'm not a new and shiny toy. (Person?) I just blend into the mold of adulthood. I want to capture life's greatest moments. I want to make people love with all of their heart. I want to stop having to defend my opinions. I simply want to make my mark. Do I want attention? Or do I want to be a better person? I'd rather be lazy if I could. Or would I? I need the motivation to start moving forward. Shouldn't that motivation be myself? I'm sick of being lazy. I need to stand strong. On my own two feet. For my own well-being. *Life is the longest moment in time that we have. I need to make it count.*

An Anguished Soliloquy
