Living is Driving Me to Death

. . . and that's not necessarily a bad thing

addicted and writhing
committed and driven
to searching and seeking
for meaning and reason
for purpose and substance. . .

and these vivd connections
between breathing and bleeding
between breaking and healing
between beginning and ending
are all facts of existince
are all parts of what's living

that's our essence of being

both aborning and dying
both sorrow and pleasure
both suffering and blessing

are all parts of one whole

 

and until i learn to accept things
as just parts of that whole
my angels are demons
taking my life
one breath at a time

but when i learn to accept things
my demons become angels
showing me meaning
one breath at a time
one death at a time
one birth at a time

showing me everything
is all just a circle
and none of its evil
it's all part of what's living

Daddy do you know me. I think you do.

[The dark Hydra]

what does "Productive" mean? Does it mean I love you?

[R J Askew]

Great stuff. You nailed it with this one. It's urgent and right on the truth of how it can be. When we are alive. If we are alive. Which not all of us are. It might be a good one to record.

[Davidgeo]

Thanks R J. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Sometimes I wish I had a voice for recording. But I sound kinda cringey when I read stuff out loud.
