The burden of An Overactive Brain
Sometimes I look in the mirror and think I am beautiful
but look at those teeth and the acne and the planes and angles and don't forget you've been single your whole life why hasn't anyone noticed you
I'm also pretty smart
yeah a useless college degree, a job that is completely wrong for your emotional well being and don't forget the fact you can't seem to accomplish anything on your to do list
I know how to work hard
except how lazy you are (see above note on getting things done)
I can accomplish anything
except every time you think about doing things you break down and are overwhelmed you can't even decide on lunch some days
I have a steady job with benefits
the thought of working it the rest of your life brings on a complete break
I have a wonderful family, a roof over my head, and don't worry about food
except you depend on living with mum and she isn't made of money and the house isn't selling and she hates her job and the economy is terrible and no one else in the family is doing great and what if....
I have hope that things will get better
except it's been a struggle for seven years now, will it always be like this?
I just have to get through today
what if tomorrow is the day I fall apart
