What if all we are
in the short time we are here
Is to be given only just a peek
into how things truly work
But to never truly understand
that nothing could ever make this giant ball stop turning on its axis
Bitching won’t help!
I’ve tried it, my dear!
Instead of worrying
About things that are useless
That we carry around with us
On a daily basis
Imagine
if they were erased
One by one
as if by magic
And just maybe
You can somehow allow this
To sink in...
We are but tiny irrelevant fucking specks of worthless beings
!!Meaningless!!!
!!!Pointless!!!
Pointless little fucks of Shit
That Exists in this darkness
This grand world of utter chaotic-ness
Extravagance ignorantly sprinkled across a vast universe beyond our limits
We are oblivious
Kept out of the loop on Fucking Purpose!
We are the DAMN EXPERIMENT!
THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE!!!
Endless possibilities
of numerous unknowns
Are kept hidden
Kept secret from all of us!!
So, late at night
When you are reminded of this
Take a few minutes and consider it
You'll enjoy it
Why should we be overly concerned
With problems that never get solved
By fucking arguing
Or partaking in fist to cuff brawls
Why can’t we just take time to sit
And think things through
We have brains that were given to us
Let's put 'em to fucking USE!!
Instead of your emotions getting the best of you
Looking like a damn fool
Gain some insight for just a few
Breathe and self-reflect
Intellectually guide yourself
Towards the high dive in your mind
Awaiting you
And take a plunge
Dive into some damn intellect!!
And unwind!
Don’t panic!
The water will be cold at first
But you will manage
You will be shocked for a moment
Because you came in to this
Assuming and blindly believing you were All Knowing
But then take notice
At how quickly it starts to get your blood flowing
You start to see the truth
...Begin to understand what is real....
You have learned to observe
To shut the fuck up and listen
You did it!
Finally paying some damned bit of attention
You have aquired peace
Your mind is STILL!
Take it in
Hold on to this moment
This is when shit gets real
And finally you realize
That the most logical reason for any escalated confusion
The explanation to why so many things got so damn confusing
Was perhaps that maybe
the chapter you should have paid the most attention to
Was lost in translation
Because you fell asleep
While the words being read
The words being spoken
Words that you felt were not important
Didn’t pertain to you
You got bored
Not thinking they held any relevance
For you,
There was no comprehension
To what those words could mean
To you!!!
Or FOR you even
So why not change the ending
to the story
Revise a few chapters
Organize a few pages
You’re the author
The illustrator
Leave the reader amazed!!!
This is your chance to reveal
The ways you came out
Wiser
Immune to the hell this world has viciously thrown your way
Placing you in danger
Keep a steady pace
Hold on to your faith
Remember to breathe
And take the next one with dignity and grace
You’ll make mistakes
It won’t be easy
But you will win this race
And when you finish first place
I will be able to tell
If you truly listened
Or just was hearing the words
As they fell
Out of the mouths of the ones
With their stories to tell
For the words you read now
Are the one and only
Infamous words to my very own story
Just a brief version
My testament
To a life full of bullshit
That I, too, have led
Walked very heavily along paths
That almost left me for dead
But enough about me....
I aim to know if you were to be healed
Or if you sadly wither away
Or just become another fucking soul
Like the rest of 'em was sure to
Completely broken and afraid
And as I begin to settle in for the night
Knowing you were worth it
My attempt to help a soul that looked like it was strong enough to win the fight
I finish reading the epic adventure
Signed to me by the amazing author
That I humbly had the pleasure
Of knowing...
Before and After
