Not that Simple

by @silent-screams

It is not really that simple. All day you just call me mental. I think I might just go grab a god damn pistol. Cold steel barrels in my hand, Hell, I can't even stand. While I just pound this hard concrete and sand. I am pacing these corridors in circles it is making my damn head hurt, Shit spinning around me, this torture is always making it worse. Hey, don't look at me as if I am the problem, these little ants on the ground, I just want to stomp them. Fueling my insecurities, drinking down the potion. Do I just sit here or throw it into motion? Heck, what is all of this commotion? It is not really that simple. Contemplating my disappearance, I am no more looking into the distance. Why are you still here? It is not like I am missing. Oh, wait, wait, calm down with all this internal chatter, voices telling me that I don't even matter. Rising and falling off of life's external ladder, trying to look in the future, hold on, it is making me a little madder!!! I need to see this through and just meditate. Wait one minute, my pills over there on the counter, should I just medicate? Contemplate, hesitate, or it is too late? It is not really that simple. Kinda crazy how it sounds. Back on the hard concrete and sand. I see myself, right here. Clearly as I stand, breathing and seeing my life's simple plan.
