South African Human Being. / cumbersome (ˈkʌmbəsəm) or cumbrous / adj / 1. awkward because of size, weight, or shape: cumbersome baggage. / 2. difficult because of extent or complexity: cumbersome accounts.
I am an uncomfortable mess of big words and over-thinking and clichés that don't quite fill my appetite. In here I am a swamp with a paradise deep down that can't fight the sludge sludge sludge and I miss you terribly and I miss myself- before you and the knowledge of war and political turmoil and those tumors that **** (not just cancer, but that type of ache that punches your ribs into a pulp). Sometimes I look up to the sun and it should make me feel light and free, but I am so lost here- not like when I was young.

There's no rewind button on here.
what pains me most in life is not knowing a reason for something not being able to explain- in full- why certain things deem to be a certain way. why do hugs feel so **** good? why does the smell of the air after a storm elate me? why does the gentle tickling of a sun ray on my back ease my soul? why is there no choice to be born? why do some of us suffer from day to day whilst others merely seem to accumulate happiness? why is my brother severely disabled? truthfully, I have come to conclude, that no amount of seeking will suffice and do we really want the burden of absolute knowledge anyway?

Paradox: a revelation.
