If it's not waiting
then it is certainly this
that sits with a crown atop an
ever lengthening list
of things
I can't f**ing stand
it's the deficit of time
we never know how much we've got left
so I'm going to take this life and beat it to d**h
if you count yourself with the bored and barely living then do so
the deepest water in the cistern of self-deception wells up
the fear of communicating exactly what you mean
while some people leave for "heaven" with no warning
and they're filling body bags on every corner on every street
this consumes me

If there is something positive to be said for progress in interpersonal relations, few things are more frustratingly crippling than pa**ive aggression. As we navigate through our lives, credit is due when we are able to communicate with each other with some humility, patience and effort. When people are unwilling to speak their minds, even to their own "friends," it leads to a dissonance that erodes the relationship, sometimes irreparably, and kicks the knees out of any and all collective effort. Ultimately, not only is the situation made more difficult, but the individual is harmed internally by the impossibility of any resolution.
