a list of petty guilts

Knowing that the moment you call in sick
your headache will start to fade,
but doing it anyway;

setting down an article as soon as it discomforts you,
lacking the motivation required
to challenge yourself;

and lying to the television screen
that you would have the guts to confess your love,
no matter what.




The first of -- hopefully! -- many. If you want to leave me poetry prompts, the post is still there.

<3. I *like*. I was reading it thinking "awww, she cheated, this is all pretty mundane", and then the last verse plonked itself into my line of sight. Well DONE.
