Crap Call Life

In order to save myself from
drowning in my own feces,
I purge myself each day,
so the crap I call my life,
would not hamper me in any way.

Reality is something
I got to learn to face.

I’m no cowardice!

I love challenges!

But sometimes getting up
and reaching for the door knob
is the biggest challenge, I face
each day.

I may sound like I’m cowardice…
But think about it…

Pollution, carjacking, kidnapping, gang rape, low-pay, obnoxious co-worker, rude clients, 
terrorist, racist, child ***********, human-trafficking, corruption, politicians…Dead!

I wouldn’t turn the knob today…
I’ll call in sick!

I’ll relax today…

If I do that,
I’ll miss…

Partying till dawn, getting drunk and hitting on the guy I’m too shy to speak too, baileys, sex 
in the back seat of a car, orbit white bubble mint, using the internet service at work, using 
office hours for my personal leisure, spying on the boss and his latest fling…

I can go,
on and on…

Good thing… this life I’m living…!

So tell me, if you can!

Why I still feel like
I’m drowning in my own feces.
