who is to decide
that the world will not end tomorrow.
Its a scary thought
but there are powers in this world
that can end it all.
End it in the form of guns
words, pages, bombs,
emotion
If I suddenly was killed
would people remember me?
would you really mourn?
really?
Really think about it.
would you take something away from something I did or said?
The only contribution
to any form of society
is putting these words and thoughts in your brain

Now that youre thinking like me,
is it worth it in a life that is in such a state of delusion
to continue living life the way you are?
Do you cherish life the way you used to?
The way you did when you were a kid?
Do you remember what it feels like to live?
To be excited at nothing.
Or is your mind so desensitized
that it doesnt know if youre living your life
or the life society wants you to?
Just so they can get you to do the things
that make life miserable?

When something bad in life exists
most just say, "Oh. thats just life"
But this gives life an excuse to be forever terrible.
Teach people what I have taught you.
Think of where you are and where you want to be.
If you are where you want to be,
you are extremely lucky.
If not, take a stand.
The only thing holding you back
is your conscience.
just rambling. not refined. a steady stream of thought of a confused 20 year old. enjoy.
