It's a Cake

You're making a cake, and you can choose all these different options for types of cake you can make. Chocolate cake. Birthday cake. Ice Cream cake. Any kind of cake.


And then there's the option to dump bleach into the batter and give up.
It's not a very good option and it doesn't make much sense
But 
Its
There
And it doesn't go away. 
It never leaves
At every point in your life it stays to be a thing you can do. 
And sometimes. 
Sometimes you grab the bleach, and you hold it over the bowl for a little bit
And you put it down
You put it down

And you focus back on your cake
But you thought about it
And you spent so much time thinking about it that you forgot to make your cake
And now 
everyone around you that you see 
is almost all done making their cake 
and all you've done is almost pour bleach into a bowl.

So now what
You don't have a cake. You don't have anything.
You have nothing.
You are nothing.
So why not pour the bleach?


WHY NOT POUR THE BLEACH


Your screaming at yourself
You’re hating that you're doing it but you're doing it
You’re screaming at yourself constantly.
The mere existence of the option of pouring the bleach
Has made you want to pour that bleach.
But you don't.


You don't know why you don't. You can't answer the question being screamed at you
But
You
Dont.
That's all that matters.



And eventually you start making your cake.
It takes a while but you get there
And you just do it.
You’re doing great
You’re going to make the best cake
And you're getting so far.

As far as you can 
Then you come into a problem
You don't know what kind of cake you're going to make.
You spent so much time thinking about the bleach
 that you just assumed that eventually you would pour that bleach.
So all you have left is too
Pour
The

Bleach.
