Waiting It Out

This is where you’re going to spend the rest of your life. Every breath you ever take will be here. Every passing thought, every missed opportunity, every broken heart; they will all be here. You aren’t leaving. Admit it, you’re as trapped as everyone else. There are ways out but you ignore them because it’s the best excuse you have. You won’t succeed here but you don’t want to fail anywhere else. You may as well be dead because you aren’t living any more. Days are just coming and going, time is just passing. You are just breathing out of habit. You don’t understand the difference between living and not dying. You don’t understand how long it’s been since you made an active choice to do either. So by all means, just keep breathing until you’re dying. Then you’ll understand the difference, when you no longer have the choice.
