Those movies just screw everything up.

They don't understand what's real.
They don't understand
that
nothing lasts
forever.
They don't understand
that every day
is just another excuse to hate mornings.
And that afternoons
are just excuses to say you're tired.
And that coffee
is the only part of the day
that anyone really looks forward to.
That the clock
is the only thing that matters in life.
Days aren't dreams
and dreams certainly aren't days.
So why do they bother anyway?
