This life deserves a chance.
By demonofthefall
The moon it rises, dimly lighting the landscape before me,
Although my eyes have been graced with this view, hundreds of times before,
A realisation of lapsing time, makes it feel brand new. But puts a blemish
on my thoughts pertaining to the rest of my life.
Sleep.
Like money.
Without it your dreams don’t get realised.
Time.
An enemy.
Depleting my body and mind as seconds, hours, days, weeks, are archived
with nothing to remember, but a desk a computer, and regret.
Conflicting existence monopoly.
What do I truly own?
This body? This mind? Yes.
Control? The path and the map? No.
The right of living a life free from the imperfections that exist in a
systematic world, that scars, its children and sets its rules based on
the common lives? Most definitely not.
The little people,
Shoved in the corner, where everybody likes to make it look like they help,
so they can sleep in a comfortable bed, with enough pillows to keep their
heads held high.
Indeed,
Fuck the system.
For leaving us in the cold.
Fuck the cold,
For making us feel like were nothing.
And Fuck the nothing,
Because it made us this way.

The system is set up for certain people. Some dont want to be a part of it, but are left with no choice, and pay the price by living a life knowing theres more to it, but just cant get there.

Perhaps the point is to simplify and not fall under the rules of the "system". If your expectations are solely based on your attitude toward the world then you indeed do have control and a path/map because you're paving your own way. I appreciate your perspective on this though, food for thought :)
