I woke up sick today
and yesterday
and the day before two days before yesterday,
so I wondered today if
I’ll be sick tomorrow.

I feel like living on borrowed time
since this time I’ve earned on my own
is time I don’t even own anyways.

I need proof of positive outcomes regardless of negative choices
before I believe there’s something more to this than chaos.

You told me to be kind and
while that’s all well and good,
it hasn’t done me any favors thus far.

You made it sound so simple when I was younger
but as I’ve grown I’ve seen the
malleability of morals
when pushed to extremes.

You can’t see things the way I do
and I suppose that’s a necessity,
but I’d much rather us all just
be fascists, fairly facetiously.
