I’m so sick and tired of this.
Are you in?
Are you out?
Don’t just walk the line,
playing things safe isn’t the way
to prove to me that you’re gonna make a change.
Does anything actually work out for me?
Rarely.
When it does, is it worth it?
More than you’ll ever know.
Life is beautiful.
…But I wish you would figure that out a little faster…
My heart hurts. My brain is spinning.
………How long is this going to last??
Make a move. I haven’t got all day.
And even if I do: have all day to wait for you; I’m still not going to let you know that.
Let’s play these games.
Cat and mouse.
I want you to chase me.
I want you to feel defeated.
I want to feel in control.
Only then can I submit to you:
It will be on my terms.
Let’s just think about this for a minute:
What if people spoke their minds?
And what if people responded maturely- without hesitation or lies or motive?
What if people lived honestly?
What if we all knew each other beneath the mask of deception?
What if… the world was as it seems?
What then?
That is my idealism. That is my dream:
A world of honest, truthful, real people.
A world of intelligent and ingenuity.
A Genuine world, a Genuine generation of Genuine people.
My dream is one in which cake solves all problems and tears are the relief to bubbled over emotion. Where life is what you make it. And all dreams dreamed right come true.
Do we even know… anything…?
What is this life?
Better question… what isn’t it?
Life isn’t selfishness.
Life isn’t greed.
Life isn’t anger.
Life isn’t despair.
Life isn’t depression.
Life isn’t tears.
Life isn’t pain.
Life isn’t hopelessness.
Life isn’t death. That’s for sure.
Where are we if we revolve our lives around ourselves? We are lost. All is lost.
Currently, that is what I believe is happening. Right now. In America.
Life revolves around ourselves. Would people be depressed if they were focusing on the next hour? On the next hour of life, trying to utilise as much time as possible because every minute is precious. Every minute is another life saved. Every minute is important. Every minute is worth more than every precious jewel money can buy.
We’re all trying to answer the same question. Who am I? I think that while this is a noble quest of self-enlightenment, it’s useless. None will ever fully derive the answer. Who we are according to anyone else and ourselves is based on a moment-to-moment, ever changing perspective.
The more important questions are: What do I believe in? What do I stand for? How do I spend my time?
Everyday is precious. Every second is precious. If we live as if today is all we have and fully embrace that idea, I believe that we, as a generation, will be able to begin to live more for eachother and less for ourselves. We will begin to live more fully around the question, “What can I do for someone else?” instead of, “What do I want, right now?”.
No. We don’t know anything. We cannot see beyond our own desires to the obvious pain of another. We are too wrapped in our own self worship to hear another’s cries.
We don’t know a thing. I suggest we start learning, start living; Today.
