No

Not living

By Daemon McKinneyPublished 5 years ago 1 min read
No more mirroring

I wish I was as good at this life thing as some people.

It’s as if maybe I’m just not hardwired for it.

Just a little too different to really work through it like everyone i so obviously fail to mirror.

Not that I want to be just like them.

I just see how easy it would be.

Simplicity of a brainwashed mind.

Always doing as told.

Yes sir.

Yes ma’am.

Yes, life.

No, no life.

Not life.

Not alive.

Not living.
