So, I've noticed recently quite a peculiar phenomenon. Something that just seems to go on and on! A tricksty little notion- Nay, a bumbling fuss of a commotion! A devotion to emotion which only leads me to conclude- I live my life in Slow Motion. Now, I say this carefully as I dare not intrude upon uncertainties, But my tactfully concluded analysis leads me to believe- That there is something wrong. Some sort of a emotional paralysis, a general lethargy? Which then turned on its head leads to the greatest irony as it does not drive me to a blurred insanity of speeding through events unimportant to me. It leads me instead to- Inaction. Like an important section of urgency in me shut down- Leaving me the lenient mercy of being able to look around and talk the talk and walk the walk and chalk up all my defects and errors to be fixed- To something that can be done later. But how does swallowing this apathetic little potion lead me back to that silly old notion of living life- In Slow Motion? Well, you see when you watch a train wreck before your eyes- You realise that you won't risk your neck for any old prize related to that. It should be good, really good. But seeing through your own lies isn't much of a prize. It's much more comfortable to sit back and take the flak for hack that you've become. An innocent witness to your own crime- One who does not have the time for going back to their prime. It's much better to live in this- Sublime existence- Where resistance is met by complete indifference. And like a bystander I watch events unfold. And it is this, my companion- The emotionless ocean's erosion of a what used to be a stalwart bastion of emotion. The forceful implosion of what used to be a joyful explosion. This demotion to lowly groveller no other person could sate themselves on. This is what leads me to believe that silly little notion- No matter how big the commotion- That I live my life- In Slow Motion

Life in Slow Motion
So, I've noticed recently quite a peculiar phenomenon. Something that just seems to go on and on! A tricksty little notion- Nay, a bumbling fuss of a commotion! A devotion to emotion which only leads me to conclude- I live my life in Slow Motion. Now, I say this carefully as I dare not intrude upon uncertainties, But my tactfully concluded analysis leads me to believe- That there is something wrong. Some sort of a emotional paralysis, a general lethargy? Which then turned on its head leads to the greatest irony as it does not drive me to a blurred insanity of speeding through events unimportant to me. It leads me instead to- Inaction.

This is what leads me to believe that silly little notion- No matter how big the commotion- That I live my life- In Slow Motion
A long-winded fast ramble about shambling through life.
