one way or another it got me here.
its a very curious and slightly haunting hum like that of feedback from lead guitar. something chiming along to the sounds my eyelids make. or so it was.. these days its like water in your ear and you have to do that crazy sideways head dance to get rid of it.. but its still there.
and many gave up. our weaknesses which grasp the better part of ourselves.
dont run from your shadows, hide in them.
and never forget you have a job to do.
it made a good story though didn't it? and a kiss on a hand before a handshake is no pact with the devil. you weren't mad at me, nor were you mad at the situations we've created for ourselves but you were mad at the freedom i so desperately fought for.. even if i didn't deserve it. no man is free. nobody deserves to make their own decisions. we are a failing species and we sometimes hide behind love to forget about how we are going to die someday.. for just a short time we can feel like we aren't alone and someone else can feel the same as we do. but we have been given the gift of learning.. and questioning.. and learning.. and questioning even though we know that intelligent people are dangerous. yet we invest in them and put all of our chips along the same wagers of immortality.. or are we dirt? i dont want to be dirt.
i'll be water... alongside the countless drops of the thinkers, somewhere between the simple formula that gave breath to this planet and brought our ancestors from the boiling stews beneath the surface of the earth. and i'll love you for the tiny speck of nothingness that you are because even though you are only nothingness you are still something eternal and incredible to me.
