Temporarily permanent
This limited eternity
One way or another
We surely won
Some lottery
A chance
To live
To love
To be
Only death
Can set souls free
Free from the spell
Of this existential dream

I dream while I sleep,
Am I ethereal?
Am I just a ghost?
Am i even real?

It's always been strange for me
when the car in front of mine slows,
blinker on in the middle of an otherwise still street,
And I watch it turn off into a driveway

I am overcome by a rush of nostalgia
as I realize that, for that one car, for those people,
the house connected to that driveway, that I haven't even taken the time to look at,
To them, that house is home.

Are you awake
Enough to be
An overseer
Of liberty

Do you see
Both far and wide
Out beyond
Some foolish pride

To tolerate
To liberate
To inspire
Another
Human's fate

And if so
And I know if you really know
You have been here before
In this humanistic role
Don't stop believing
You're nearing your goal

I could paint you picture perfect,
Then burn the canvas,
Making the paint run,
Distorting the picture until it seems you're screaming.

I need to stop talking to you.

Because I tell the truth?

Because...

**Because you know everything I say is spot on. Because you don't like what you hear. Because you want to die, the only issue is that a bullet is too simple.
I talk to myself a little too much. It scares people. I talked through this entire thing out loud without realizing it, and turned to see a look of horror on my co-worker's face. He repeated it back to me almost word for word.

I hurt myself because if I deviate from the scheduled pattern set for me, I'll go insane.
The only problem is that I can't always expect the pain to come from an exterior source.
Especially when I'm happy half the time.

When the cheater is cheated
By her partner
Does that change anything?
No.
What if the cheater is cheated by the cheat she cheated you with?
Still, no.
But it's **** funny.
