What is the sight of blood? The essence of our mortality, The horror of our brevity, The factory of harmony, Nourishment             life                 awe of, in the soul's home. The Journey: You can explore the extent of your boundaries, Even transcend, but not without punishing balance. Tipping, favoring a side, pulling it tight until The Breakage: Crevice filling to the brim, trickling to the depths of the unknown, awaiting, translating Crystallization as the realization of the personal scheme, the ego's circus, the mask-maker thrives, the cultivation of sorrows contrives the demise of Our own Evolution of sighs. CRYSTALLIZATION The process of modern self-identification. We must fill a mold, Originality must fold and Collapse into a labyrinth. Choosing to choose the options listed in front of us, Never looking around or inside us. What a clever game, Self-aware while we remain ignorant essentially. Climbing the hills, ladders, slides, and valleys Without choosing to excuse ourselves To a life without the conventional rides. Perhaps, it can be no different... The rose grows from the ground, Some hidden, some found. No ears, no sound. We cannot fly. To gravity, we are bound. It matters What matters (it matters? what matters?) For what exists has an opposite. For what is freedom worth without captivity? Where would passion be without apathy? Wind, earth? Peace, bloodshed? Comfort, pain? Fury, forgiveness? Decay, fecundity? Fundamentalism, atheism? The world, our world, is a world of opposites. Our building blocks are composed of The Paradox. A balance of what is inconceivable and actual. Tip the scales, and Bleed.

Do You Understand What it is to Bleed?
