Untitled

A droplet ripples across a pool.
Proof of the separation
from this mirror-world before me.
For what I see is what I want to see.

A reflection of my desires.
Too seemingly perfect to be for real,
yet too seemingly perfect to be just chance.
Still, I must know which!

And so I shed these clothes,
standing defenseless, ready to jump.
Only to realize, that this is just a mirage,
and you are only a dream.

How wonderfully maddening it is
to be so close to the touch
yet worlds apart.

Live a good life. If there are Gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are Gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no Gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.
Marcus Aurelius

I am the maniac. I am the fool.
I found a monster in me when I lost my cool.
It lives inside of me, eating what’s in it’s way,
I put black spray paint on my windows during the day.

I want to spend time with it. I think I’m losing it.
Or I found it and I’m using it.
I wear my shades at night so I can look in the abyss.
I see something in nothingness, if you can picture this.

With black holes in my jar lid, I climb the wall.
I’m too high now, I’d die from the fall.
Before the water’s to our knees,
You can’t climb on the trees.
Wash away, you and I are the disease.

Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
Sir Winston Churchill
We live in the jar and think the lid’s the sky.
