tylereverett Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I used to write a bit when I was 12 but then I stopped. I think that being in the religion seriously sapped my creativity. I don't write a lot anymore and I don't know how good I am, but once in a while I find it therapeutic. I've posted a few things here. This regards some of my feelings in the midst of my current existential crisis. In particular, I'm very socially aware and climate change is really concerning to me. So this has somewhat to do with that mixed in with the feelings of my own death. I'd welcome some feedback. We are all destined to the same place To be food for worms in a beautiful box Well not all boxes are beautiful But even in the plethoric expanse of boxes the feast continues Nothing can protect us from time The slow decay into chaos The half life of real life growing faster by the day Time speeds up yet it feels so slow The long march to the grave Regardless, I protest I will take the world with me Not in a violent or malicious way Selfish? yes perhaps But isn't all action taken to benefit the self? Or at best, benefit those the self knows? Who knows? Not I But I'll take what I can In a loud boisterous shout into the cosmos NO MORE, I shout NO MORE futility I cannot find meaning but I will live with the meaning that finds me I will love and be loved and try my best To remember what it felt like when the world would never end Knowing that life was precious, one day at a time. I look into her face and the sheer beauty that decays to the eye Will remain for long in my mind Until that too is extinguished She's a cruel mother yet she has been kind Bestowing both her blessings and her curses And I grieve what she has done and what we have done I grieve what we knew should have been I grieve what we could make But I refuse to despair Because to despair is to let the cosmic forces of oblivion take you in But to make peace and live is to truly win Nevermind, in the end, I still have today I still have the time, whether short or long it's fine Because I'm lucky to be here Even if here doesn't want me for much longer So again I shout into the void I take you with me I take all the worth out of you I can I will not let your emptiness win Even when you take me in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
