Rotting

I used to enjoy
just laying in bed,
rotting away,
not a thought in my head

Spent all day in my sheets
so that I wouldn’t face
the reality that
I wanted to replace

Then I started to wish
I was actually living
and feeling the breeze
that I’d begun missing

So I stepped outside
and I went for a walk
and met up with a friend
and we started to talk

And that’s when he told me
what I’ll tell you next –
to avoid turning moldy
isn’t that complex.

All it takes is one step,
finally taking the leap
and you’ll feel much better
when you go to sleep.
