Volition

You’re welcomed by the dark as you’re dragged into a deep slumber. You can’t feel your limbs anymore, nor can you see your own face in the mirror. You must have finally collapsed under the weight of reality. But now there’s nothing. Only the flashing lights and the pulsing headache remain to accompany you. You’re falling, and if you don’t wake up soon, you’re gonna fall so far down it’ll get hard to climb back out again. Climb back out of what, you may ask? This tiny chasm you’ve dug in the pits of your heart. You don’t know when you made this hole but it’s yours and it fits you. But you don’t belong there, no one does. So no matter how comforting it looks, don’t fall any deeper. There’s nothing for you down there, nothing that won’t give you pain for remembering the past. You must be wondering now, why would I go back? Well, you've got a point. The world out there is equally as bad, but it needs your presence, it needs your mistakes and your failures. Without it, it's empty and dull. They never said living is easy, but think about how far you've come. That's important.

So get up, you’re not done yet. You've still got a lot more people to disappoint, but it's going to be marvelous.
