Whether or not we were created or we happened by chance, we still exist. Whether we are real or not, we still are. Whether there is more or it's all over, in this world or a next, let us just be. I do to become. I do therefore I choose. I choose therefore I think. I think therefore I can. I can only cause I am and I am so I become... Purpose is found among a vast sea of many meanings from which each picks that which shall compete the statement above. Influenced or not; Predetermined or not - this selection is still made regardless of belief, precisely because it is belief. Thus, our existence precedes this purpose but proceeds from a sea of meaningless. For ambiguity, or many meanings, is just a synonym for meaningless. Embrace this and you shall live! Freedom is but the choice to choose a master. The 'how you will exist' is up to you and for as long as you exist, the only permanence is this capacity for decision not the choice itself you make. The question thus gradually evolves from "Why do I exist" and "What is my purpose" to "What do I become" and "What should I spend my time doing" However, be afraid not of a mistake. Simply learn from it for all it needs to be rectified is a different mind from s/he who made it. Though, with that being said, still be careful not to break that which cannot be entirely mended.

Why do we exist?
A soul inhabiting two bodies at once A mind that might seem set in a trance A heart that to one love song it’ll dance It’s true its only you I pursue In other words I love you You are her You're my girl You’re my world And my star Do I Say Till You Say I do Cause what is life Without you But misery At infinite You and me Destined to be No one Can disagree You’re the gravity That keeps me flowing The fuel that keeps me going The queen to my kingdom The key to my freedom

Her :-)
We were all born to be slaves, "To what" is all that we are free to choose.

The Truth
I want to hold on For there might be hope But I'm afraid there may be no point; I want to let go For there may be no point But I'm afraid there might be hope. My Dilemma

What's my next move?
Juice freshly squeezed From poisoned apples I sip Happiness as I knew it Has seized to exist Without you I can't sleep I've tried and tried But all night Your smile keeps me counting sheep Days pass but it only gets tougher To live is to suffer To love is suicide Inside my mind memories I hide I reminisce your presence My now's no longer a present My face craves your touch Since you That good It's never felt as such My cheeks miss your lips Withdrawn from your magic My mind flips A love story gone tragic Before it even started My heart ripped Into pieces When we parted Away those pieces are sweeped In the trash they are heaped Jesus! These thoughts make me weep On a slope so steep I'm hanging off the tip Trying to get a grip Acquainted with grief Searching for peace Watching water drip Off the surface of a leaf Observing people breathe And trees swayed by the breeze Playing the same old songs on repeat I'm looking for some kind of relief Apart from diving in for a swim In a pool of liquor that's cheap Aware you hear me not when I speak And this poem you might never read But know I know no bliss Though I see the lamp in the tunnel lit The one placed at the end of it My dear, you are greatly missed From within my soul deep

Bitter Snapshot
Do you hear the shadows shout? Thats me trying to pour my heart out And tell a story nobody has ever heard about A rollercoaster with ups and downs A relationship with smiles and frowns The magic got me addicted But too late I noticed The risk was never worth it A tragic accident Had already happened Leaving my heart sleeping in a casket Damaged, with no way to be salvaged Maybe I should have taken a course in braille Cause love is blind And no matter how hard I search I never find The answers I seek To enable me to understand this chick A foreign species Is what this girl is to me A mystery that was never solved A code that was never hacked Around you my world revolved And I remember it really ****** When I figured The three words I loved to hear were a lie I almost died But I survived And made it through alive Then a few months later you apologized Saying that things changed And you'd like to try it again But the pain had left resentment engrained In my brain that almost drove me insane And she who was my love became subject to my wrath I lashed out and if I didnt say it before I'm sorry about that Gave it time it went And we considered each other friends Or so I thought Before I was aware of the feelings you caught And you started talking about how you'd like to slit my throat Along with those of whoever will be my wife and kids, Then the crisis proceeded When you sliced your wrists With a compass Trying to release Whatever it was or still is Killing you inside Well fine then alright Now that we've dropped off a load And gone down the yellow brick road Travelled along memory lane Unravelling the past that was lost in our brains In the hourglass drop the grains of sand Lets fastforward to that which is at hand Youre becoming someone I used to know cause we aren't talking You're ignoring me and your friends who remind you of me Trying to convince yourself that you dont really need me And It's 2A.M. in the morning Here I am awake and writing this poem To once and for all rid myself of thoughts of you If this doesnt work what will I do Cause I know one thing's for sure that's that we're through My aim is to mend all the issues That I developed from you And resurrect my heart, finally put it back to use.

As much as I want to blame Everyone And everything I must admit Its all my own doing For I picked the easy way In favour of the right one I picked the short-lived grins The road most taken It is no wonder right now All I do is I regret.

The Wrong Choice
Open your eyes, see through the blinds, Cause all we see right now is lies, Open your eyes, see the truth behind, The answers are the but hidden deep inside. Open your eyes, and dont be surprised, When you get to see the real face of life, Open your eyes, my friend, open your eyes, Learn to ask the questions: "how come?" and "why?" Once you are seeing, release your mind, Let it be free to soar to great heights, Think and seek I assure you you'll find, The truth, that demon, on the other side.

I C
Us: There's a lot to me, A lot I could say about myself; But I find it better, To learn about myself from you; For when I look in the mirror I see you And when you look at me You're looking in the mirror; We are all different but the same, And this is why I should prefer to listen not speak. Me: Ideally it should be like this But alas! This is not the case The narcissist in me Cannot be kept shut He grabs for every conversation And dreads the art of empathy His mouth heats up While on the ears form cobwebs You: If two talk , who listens? But then again if two listen, who speaks? Conversation should be give and take For at least one to gain So hear me you Even if you may not agree Then I'll listen to you And you can share your view.
