Easy;Waste

IT’S EASY BUT IT’S NOT

or maybe i just don’t want to do it

IT SHOULD BE SIMPLE; I DO IT ALL THE TIME

yet i waste hours—delay hours—on what inevitably takes ten minutes.

WHY!! WHY MUST I DO THIS!!

i just do. i do. i...do. whether i like to or not.

I LIKE TO THOUGH!! AT LEAST…it depends.

and yet i write this. and yet i write this instead.

Just. Do. It.

Please.

 

Pressure…Surface

“I work best under pressure,” she says.

Yeah right.

“I have plenty of time,” they say.

Sure you do. And plenty of stress.

“I’ll do it tomorrow,” he says.

Uh-huh, I’d like to see that.

You know you’ll just keep pushing it off, Lily.

“But—but I still get things done!” Lily says.

Yeah…but is it worth it? It’s not like you use that free time.

"I—yeah…you’re right. I end up feeling guilty or just wasting it away. Or Staring at the Blank Page,” Lily concedes.

So…? What are you gonna do about that?

“Uhm…well…NOTHING!!!! TOO MUCH WORK!” Lily says. “Anyway, I got something to finish tonight…so unless you have anything else to say…?”

Fine. But keep it in mind. Please, Lily.

Why?

Why do you surrender your mind?

Your thoughts?

You have no mind.

You don’t think.

That machine does.

It tell you what to think,

and you comply.

Willingly.

You want it to think for you.

You want it to turn you into this drooling, sleep-deprived, mindless, idiotic, half-human, horror.

I hate you.

I hate them.

I hate every. Damn. Thing.

In that vicinity.

I hate him.

I hate him.

I hate him.

I hate them all.

They can all just,

Do as you do and,

Willingly donate their brains,

Their potential,

Their souls,

Their lives,

Their…them.

To it.

 

Wake up, fool.

It isn’t what you think.

 

Wake up, victim.

And see the sunshine.
