i am an asshole
yes, i know
should i plan your funeral this time,
or is this once again for show?
every few years you seem to be dying,
we’ve all given up on reason,
there is no sense in trying .
you see i’ve lost my empathetic nature
i just don’t have any more space to care
such extreme language
your hypochondriatic tendencies
sinking us all quick into despair
we are desensitized to what you have left to say
though i know you feel it to be true
the reality is,
your perspective’s quite askew
there is something wrong
but it is not what you think
and if i told you
we might lose you in a blink
it’s in your mind
you see
it’s your fear of death,
it’s your impulse to control all physical ailments to avoid the psychological pain of depth
but emotions hurt
and they sometimes feel like you might die
but you don’t
you just keep suffocating on the water,
the reoccurring nightmare,
the storm's eye
so inhale it deeply
let it drown your lungs
because you’ll still be here even though you feel like it’s the end
even if you wish it
or don’t ...
expunge.
