Challenge
Why do you get up in the morning?
In short, nothing. I have nothing to live for. I am only alive because living is easier than dying.
I don't really live
I'm not really alive
I am only concious
and awake
for this finite life of mine
because my heart
stubbornly continues to beat
I don't really live
I just spend my days
my weeks
my months
not dying
I don't really live
I continue
waking up every morning
simply because
the sun shines in my eyes
I get out of bed
simply because
my mother drags me
by the ankle
excited and curious she asked me,
"what get's you up in the morning?"
i forced a grin
and through my teeth i simply lied
"i just have so many things to look forward to."
