#FicklePickle

i am an asshole yes, i know

should i plan your funeral this time, or is this once again for show?

every few years you seem to be dying, we’ve all given up on reason, there is no sense in trying .

you see i’ve lost my empathetic nature i just don’t have any more space to care such extreme language your hypochondriatic tendencies sinking us all quick into despair

we are desensitized to what you have left to say though i know you feel it to be true the reality is, your perspective’s quite askew

there is something wrong but it is not what you think and if i told you we might lose you in a blink

it’s in your mind you see it’s your fear of death, it’s your impulse to control all physical ailments to avoid the psychological pain of depth

but emotions hurt and they sometimes feel like you might die but you don’t you just keep suffocating on the water, the reoccurring nightmare, the storm's eye

so inhale it deeply let it drown your lungs because you’ll still be here even though you feel like it’s the end even if you wish it or don’t ...

expunge.
