slipping

a rock.
a massive, unshakeable, firm, rock.

covered in slime, muck, and moss.
slippery, wet.

i'm climbing that rock.
--or, at least, attempting to.

but i falter.
flounder.

i get a grasp, but not for too long before i start slipping again.
i try, but i guess i'm not good enough.

why am i not as scared as i should be?
why don't i care anymore?
...have i ever?

why don't i care about my future?
about how my present actions affect tomorrow?
when did this "oh, i'll do better next time" mentality arise?
and what if there isn't a next time?

oh Lord Jesus help me.
