Find Life

Before Death

By Steve RichardPublished 5 years ago 2 min read

Find Life Before Death -

Everyone creates their own parameters .. Or so I thought .. some seem to be forced upon us Boundaries to live by .. many are for protection Others set up to build foundations .. Mine take lead role in me Demolition .. Your breaking me down ..

Always abating .. Apparently I’m aberrant to your examples for conformity .. Searching for locks to match the keys .. I’m found occupied touching everything up down and in between .. Do you know when I realized that I’m a clown ? It was when I realized it is all within me .. Every lock and every key .. I’m building me again ..

Frustrating to beat the very ground that I stand upon .. I’m trying to break with my unsteady hands .. Looking for a way to execute my desires .. I know it appears unreasonable .. I even wonder if my thoughts are feasible .. With my doubts .. You find ways to prosecute .. we all know nothing in life is absolute .. Even in death life is possible ..

In our lives we must find ways to feel Life .. Before we feel our Deaths ..

I need to compromise a healthier filter .. Learn what to say and when to say it .. And whom to say it to .. everyone deserves considerations .. I’m a lost cause I never want to drag you into this I use words to articulate my devastations.. With a similar fashion you can do this .. No retractions ..

Disconnection .. Is the first stage of division .. Desertion is always final .. what’s in between .. Nothing .. Definitely what you showed me .. I’m usually the last to know .. Change is ever so subtle when your in control .. Who feeds who .. Were you already lying .. Devoid of intent are we still content ..

The more that I find myself explaining myself the less I seem to understand .. Nothing has ever gone according to plan .. So why think so far ahead .. I play everything for pretend .. I rather be laying in bed trying to get my ego fed .. I know I’m not worthy of anything that’s ever said ..

Deep inside I’m already dead ..
