Here I stand a liar in a world where the truth is said to be absolute and a God may or may not exist to punish the wicked and unjust (hint: God is only what you think of yourself in your head)
and I ask if anyone of us is even worth saving. But then I remember the nights when group sing-a-longs and metaphysical I-spy were the noises that made my heart hum, too (hint: treasure the time spent laughing with friends before they die. Really, truly).
I remember the way my little sister used to hold my hand as we crossed the street until my reach embarrassed her, and I bring to mind the nights my baby brother fell asleep on my chest, which was a perfect fit for his head (hint: no one can stay young forever).
And so tell me why I keep on living even after all the reasons I've been given to stop. I walk around streets just watching people move and I know the ineffability of humankind is found with the word humanity (hint: it's when a person can still be kind when they have lost all they had).
