go toe to toe with myself (read all 2 entries…)

Let's be honest...  — 2 years ago

I’m thin because I have a great metabolism. That doesn’t mean I should eat nothing but shit.

I’m healthy because I’m lucky. That doesn’t mean I shouln’t pay attention to my body.

I spend money because I can, and not really because it’s the best thing to do in that situation. Realistically, I could retire young on the things I’ve purchased over the years that I didn’t need. Stupid.

Point is, I spend a lot of my live doing the easy thing and not the best thing, and sooner or later it’s going to cause me problems.

Even if it doesn’t, I’m kinda tired of feeling like a faker.

I don’t have my crap nearly as well as I want everybody to believe. And the worst part is, I project an illusion of authenticity. How messed up is that? Faking authenticity?

I’m a damn human oxymoron. And I’m tired of that.

How’s that for going toe to toe with myself?

P.S. Phew…I feel like I’ve just been to confession…

jerebel is struggling.

I feel as though the two of you have reached in my head and heart and pulled out my inner most thoughts. What the hell was that? It’s kind of freaky but reassuring to know that I am not the only one that feels this way. I love the poem. Thanks for the comments. :-)
