Life offers so very many choices,
Thousands upon thousands of paths,
But the only thing that matters-
Is the destination of your journey.
Do you make it to the end of the line?
Or will you lose yourself in time?
It all boils down to one simple thing,
Really it's quite petty...
Death is the destination,
To which we are headed.
We shall all arive in due course,
Wether with crow's feet and gnarled hands,
Or porcelain skin and big bright eyes,
The road less traveled isn't any longer,
Nor is it any shorter, so slow your roll,
let it all sink in and stew...
We all get there eventually,
Might as well enjoy the ride

Journaling is hard...
Have you ever tried it?
You write each day, about random ****,
Only to find nobody gives a crap.
You fall asleep early and into the trap-
Of procrastination.
This dutiful task is one big opperation,
With the heart monitor beeping,
Time keeps on ticking.
The days smear together,
On the ugly speckled canvas,
Of the 50ยข notebooks,
You store next to your bed...


***** journaling,
I think I'd rather be a poet.

Start over,
Read the words again,
Play it all back in your head,
Rewind to the begining,
And watch it yet again.
Look for the signs,
See the warning lights come on,
Here the caution whistles blowing,
Witness yourself continuing on,
Oblivious to the chaos-
Of everything falling apart

— The End —
