sarcastic mr. know it all
this is the first day of the rest of my life.
i want to forever remember this day as a turning point.
i'm going to leave behind every disappointing memory, every hurt feeling, every day where it was too much to do much of anything, every moment that seemed to sharp to be real.
i've only just realized that i live my life in a dream.
i fail to commit, i fail to work hard, i fail to excel.
and i'm capable, but it's hard.
and i despise hard work, i despise effort.
i don't like to feel too much because it leads to hurting too much.
i let few people in, and i trust no one.
i don't even trust myself.
i'm horrible unhappy.
i'm horribly alone.
every moment is an acute sense of solitude, stretching out into all the other countless moments that both preceeded it and will continue to proceed in a long endless procession of moments too painful to fully bear.
i live my life inside of myself.
i go through the motions only.
i don't even know what i want.
if i wanted something, wouldn't i work for it?
wouldn't i strive to excel?
why why why why why?
i need to give my life meaning.
i'm not going to find it with anyone else, i need it to come from within.
but i feel as though i have nothing to live for.
what is there?
i've been told i'm beautiful, i say this without vanity, for i've never truly felt beautiful.
i've been told that i'm smart.
i am, that's a fact.
but so what?
i'm athletic, i have a lovely body.
on the outside, it seems like there's nothing wrong but mentally i sometimes wonder if i'm all there.
my life is a haze.
an endless haze.
sometimes i wish i could just sleep forever.
a deep, endless sleep.
just sleep, sleep, sleep.
and now i'm going to leave it all behind.
today is the first day of the rest of my life.
i'm going to live for something.
i'm going to live for me.
