My friend – she has –
issues
The kind that don’t make sense to me
The kind where she has to step over every line and crack on the ground
The kind where she has to straighten every paper on every desk
The kind where sometimes I get frustrated being patient
Even though I want to be a good friend.
My coworker – he has –
issues
The sort that makes him hard to talk to because everything pisses him off
The sort that makes it impossible to listen to the radio or turn on the news
The sort that leaves everyone around him walking on eggshells
The sort of rage that makes every day like walking on a tightrope
Even though I want to be supportive.
Me – I have –
issues
I am pessimistic to a fault and it’s grating on everyone’s nerves
I am lethargic and apathetic at every turn
I am without motivation and describe how lifeless I feel
I am aware that I am a burden to everyone around me
But I want to be more than nothing.
We all have –
issues
But they’re not simple things like a bad day or a crapshoot
These are issues linked to the dysfunction of our brains
serotonin
That’s what we’re told – a lack of this chemical that is supposed to make us normal
A chemical that is supposed to make our brains work the correct way
It stinks that its true but with these kinds of issues
what more can you do?
