A Daily Conflict

Good times

*Alarm rings*

9:15 AM

Shit I gotta get up

I got some things to do today. I’m kind of excited to get to work, I’ve been super busy all week and finally have some time to do the things I wanna do today.

I finally have the ti…

10:19 AM

…Ugh what?? What happened?! I was literally on my way up

Why does this always happen

I mean realistically I should probably sleep earlier. Gaming with the boys till 2 AM doesn’t really set me up for a successful day. It never has why would that change now.

Ok well I wanted to workout but honestly, it’s kinda hot now so might just skip and make some breakfast. I’m thinking some eggs, maybe some toast and avo…

11:29 AM

I hate myself

Why does this always happen

Ok well you know what, don’t have time for breakfast anymore but maybe oatmeal?

Yea definite…

12:52 PM

I’m not a morning person

1:28 PM

Is this all I’m ever gonna be good for?

I can’t move

Why does this always happen?

I had plans for today, big plans. I always have plans, dreams for what a day could be

If I could just get myself to MOOOOVEEE…

_:__ PM

I’m out of time

I can’t move

Why does this always happen

Is this all I’m ever gonna be good for

I can’t move

I had somethings to do today

Why does this always happen

The day’s almost over and I haven’t even begun

I can’t move

Are my dreams that unattainable

Is this all I’m ever gonna be good for

No of course not you can achieve them if you put in hard work

I hate myself

Why does this always happen

Yea just gotta put in hard work and I’ll be fine. Just gotta put in hard work and I’ll be fine

I can’t move

It’s ok just gotta get up

I can’t move

No, it’s fine let's just do one leg at a ti-

I can’t move

Yes I can, I can still do enough with today

I can’t move

I still have today, I just gotta m —

I CAN’T MOVE

Yes you can, you have today! This day is your’s and you can —

YOU CAN’T MOVE

_:__PM

It happened again

Maybe I should give up. On everything, if that’s all I’m ever gonna be good for

Maybe I’m just not the type of guy that works hard, that fights for something

Maybe I’m just the guy that sleeps away the day

And watches his life slip away from slits that used to be his eyes

Why can’t I move?

I’m scared, I’m lazy, I’m scared that I’m too lazy, I’m too lazy to do anything about being scared

Is this all I’m ever gonna be good for?

Maybe.

Why did this happen again?

Because it’s who you are. You didn’t change about the day before why would today be any different?

Because I still have hope, that maybe I’ll be something more.

I can’t move

Ha yea I guess I can’t. But I am pretty hungry so I guess it’s time feed myself before I die.

Microwave burrito?

That sounds good

There’s always tomorrow.
