Yeah, well, this just popped into my head at 0945 at night so I wrote it...yeah... Anyway I will update What Dreams May Come soon, so keep a look out.
It's the simple things, really, the things that you just take for granted. The things that you never knew you had as you went through your life. But, now some things don't seem so simple. Now as you stare out of your lack luster eyes and wonder 'where did I go wrong' and 'what could I have done', you think that maybe, it was when you decided to change.
Things aren't simple anymore. They're full of bureaucratic bullshit and red tape. You don't like the life you've suddenly made for yourself. It seems so shallow and thin, unlike you. You feel useless now, as you stare out your window at the gray DC sky. It's a sight you think that you'll never get used to, but yet, have come to identify with. The gray sky is your mood, it defines you now, as shallow as you think that definition is.
You used to save the world, you think. You used to be important, good for something. Now, all you do is push paper and try not to kiss ass when all the pressure is on you. It seems like a virus that you caught when you took this job. It eats at your insides changing who you are. You suddenly realize that you are becoming the thing you swore never to be.
And it haunts you.
Until you cannot breathe.
Until all that is left if a whisper of who you once were.
What can we see but what is in front of us? You wonder. It doesn't make sense to your mind, and yet here you are thinking and acting like the thing you hate the most. You have become the snarling dragon that attacks anyone within reach, and for no other reason than the fact that it suits you. Now, you've finally become the lie, the façade that you ran from.
All you ever wanted was what you couldn't have. Now, sitting here in your new office looking out upon a new city, you realize that you have less than you had before. Suddenly all the simple things you took for granted have gone. This is your life now…
It's always the simple things….
Yeah, here it is...hope you liked...please say so...
