When a constant changes
and you have to figure why.
The worst is trying to figure out
what to do with the new dilemma.
Everything you want to do
makes everything worse.
And the worse it gets
the crazier the dream
until finally
you wake up
and still have
five hours
of the night to supposedly rest.
Obviously,
you won’t be dreaming.
The extremes.
The thrills.
The chance of failure.
All of it builds
and yet it does nothing to satisfy
the craving of adventure
Where will it end?
Even death is no longer a morbid factor
when every decision made
is based on whether life could be lost or not.
So adrenaline seekers continue
to push their mortal envelopes
and the ones in their boxes of comfort
watch inexporably.
When it fails spectacularly
There is always consequences
Like people being angry
Or having to deal with mechanical problems
Most seem to forget
that sometimes it is not an excuse
but they use it anyway
Things need to be done.
Time is running out!
Procrastination will only make it worse.
Yet I don’t feel like doing it.
Well, eventually it will get done.
Just, maybe, not today?
A cunning glance
That ominous wink
Before a small smirk
Gives a spiny chill
Hearsay gathers weight
Rumours are bounced around
And all is said before departure
Begins a new headline
No Answer
No Call
No Message
Nothing
What can I do when I have no idea?
Where do you go when you only have nothing?
Time travel is not an option
If it was the past is horrible place to start
Things have happened for a reason
Yet we all focus on what has been
Though it affects what will chance upon us
We can only change our path
as new obstacles are blocking our steps
And remember the lessons learned
not repeat the same mistakes
Where it is only a panic attack
Nothing significant
People on the transit
fighting behind me
Crowded bus so I can not move
The bus driver tries to intervene
No one listens to him
People do not understand
the impact on others
because they only think of themselves
Long weekend is over
Time to get back to school routine
Open the lunch box
and there is a smell
Looks like someone
forgot to clean it out last Friday
I don’t meant the one at the end of the bar
He is used to the ones society has already placed upon him
Though starting with him could be an option
If you thought you could convince him that society is wrong
But challenging the fundamentals of his world
may cause him and those around him to dislike you
or even hate you
So begin wherever you wish
and take care that you may no longer be welcomed at that bar
