If It Does Not Kill Us

Have you ever wanted to,

But just can’t?

The desire would come to you,

But ever effort you take, you recant.

~

Walk to the phone, go get in the car,

Sit there contemplating

Then turn around and go play the guitar,

Or maybe boozing instead.

~

Some times when I want to do this

Or maybe that

It is my wont to remiss

And a non-starter being my where at.

~

Some days it is just better to hide,

Find a hole and climb in.

No effort can I abide,

Each attempt sends me in a spin.

~

No reason for the funk,

Other then what built day by day,

Just a lot of pilled up junk

That leaves you wanting to stay out of the fray.

~

"I just don’t give a shit",

Are the words that come to mind,

Though I might not admit,

When asked to explain my resign.

~

Happily am I to report to you

My dear friends, that this is a state

That I normally eschew,

So please do not give this much weight,

~

And it is a place, I am sure,

That you know as well as I.

Sometimes it has its allure

And to it, like a moth to a flame, we fly.

~

If it does not kill us,

Well you know the rest of that line.

Bullshit, for in the end we are all dust,

It is in our design.
