Goodbye Apathy


No.

I can't sleep

not that I want to.

I can't breathe

not like I used to.

I can't think

not when I need to.

 

Take care Lethargy.

Farewell Insensitivity.

So long Passivity.

You're not me.

 

Yes.

There's a jolt in my count

as I wait to hear from you.

There's a bounce in my step

as I rush to see you.

There's a skip in my beat

as I sink into you.

 

I can be what you need.

I'll do anything.

 

Goodbye Apathy

Like everyone else, I've gone through my hardships and I know there are more to come. I've lost friends whom were close to me, I've suffered with grades in school, and I have my own family issues. I used to write with a pessimistic perspective, as you'll see in my earlier writings, but people change with time. I don't want to view what has happened and what will happen through a dark haze. I now write with a more hopeful attitude despite if I'm sad or angry. By reading these, you're getting to know the inner me and though I encourage constructive criticism, for that reason, please be honest and kind. Thank you and, by the way, it's nice to meet you! ;)
