Stricken, you find yourself again. The tight confinements of the bed you tremendously love, make your decent to the world of nothing, all too easy. Waking up warm and comfortable, you decide then and there, nothing is what you want. It's what you need.
You slowly arise to make your way to your TV, to your living room. Legs propped up to the sky, head in the dust, you sit on your long blue couch. The only motion you bring to your moments, are the thumb twitches to change the channel. Why do you do this? Why does this amuse you? Sitting unaware of the things you could be doing. Unaware of the ideas you are wasting. You give no thought to the world around you. You just lay trapped within the mind controlling images.
All alone you seek only solace. All alone you still seek the comfort of the quiet of being alone. You march to your room, stomping on quaking legs, just to be more alone than you already are. Why? It binds my confusion. Why aren't you finding more chances to almost die? Why not attempt to mend the life, you surely want to lose? These moments, these opportunities are there. They sit on your mantle and watch you sleep. They run by you as you sit in your chair. They laugh as they haunt your dreams. Why aren't you embracing family, taking it all in? Why aren't you finding what you want, love?
It pushes me to the edge of the edge. What's with you? You have the time, you have the ability to do something other than this nothing. It just forces my confusion into place. You just sit there, you just lay there, and nothing. Nothing but, TV and open silence, open thoughts.
Just go back to your bed you so love. Repeat your all too easy decent to the world of useless, the world of nothing. Let it take you away again. Let it waste more and more, over and over. Let it take over, let your actions make me sick of you.

ReplyDeletei really like how you showed the disgust in almost every single action the character was doing and the constant questions and the ending sentence. I was a bit confused on the point of view since it seemed to be switching form 3rd to 1rst so work on the narration a bit.
ReplyDeleteThis is 2nd person, to all who think this is in 3rd. it has little places with 1st but the overall pov is 2nd person.
ReplyDelete"Legs propped up to the sky, head in the dust,"...best line ever dude :] I thought the pov was great for this piece allowing your anger to be readily expressed. As for things to improve on I'm at a loss. I's "edge of the edge" a cliche?? Great job :]
