He collected suicides
In a jar of discontent
They all thought him broken
He knew not what they meant

Hesitation.
It haunts me.
Hangs in the air beside me, an apparition that seldom leaves me.
Holds me, holds me back.
I hesitate.

a handful of plans
soon descends into
a lunchbox full of post-it notes
a washing up bowl of murky water,
your numbered days are growing shorter,
senses dulled to the future lost,
for without change you'll pay the cost.
another half hour spent connecting with nothingness
vapid idling becomes the norm
as we socially destruct
too busy to live
and too connected to try
scrolling into an oblivion
where only our screens are illuminating
