A Simple Truth

So..

 

I am part of something

A middle class youthful bohemian playground

Where support is subtle, where communication is flourishing

Where everyone's expression and hard work is at our fingertips

And where losing your inhibitions takes a drink and a smile

 

For me.. it is a transitional period of the existential

Questions and day dreams clatter through the sieve of this moment now

Insecurity and the cons of being human slowing my feet

 

But not stopping them

By learning who I am, why I did what I did when I hated myself

Why I did what I did when I surprised myself

Why I did what I did when I adored myself

I can do more

 

I don't know what I will be to others

Anything more than an employee, customer, passenger, demographic to the wider society

Anything more than a statistic to those with too much money to know life like I do

Anything more than a short worrying quiet guy lost in thought to those local communities I fall into

Or anything more than a friend to those I have to admit more desire for

 

I do know though... that in 60 years I may be a bit dead

Whether my soul evaporates into the infinite colour and connection of the universe as a whole

Burns in a torturous eternal injustice because of what a book says on who I should ****

Or simply dissipates its abstract non-existence along with other gooey and chunky bits of me

I've only really got this perception, this body and this life now for definite

 

So...

While I'm not sure what the overall goal is yet

While I'm not sure who'll wake up next to me

While I'm not sure about a lot of things

 

I do know one thing

I've got one shot at this, so I better get on with it.
