What is life if not sorrow? if not loss, if not woe What is life if not grief, if not regret, of what could've been. What is life if not a void, a silent hunger at the centre of our being. What is life if not fear, if not resentment, if not shame. Though life is a sanctuary, of all these and more, no atom exists without a proton. No rain falls without the sun to follow. Stripped from the scorching star,the moon is hollow. If no day is warm forever, No night remains eternal. No dark remains without stars to guide, No cloud rests forever covering the light.

What is life?
It feels more natural Than a capsule Talking with you Even though you make me blue Medication puts me through

Capsule
Clockwise against the blue light Silhouette against a 70 mile speed limit "I let the music take over my soul, body, and mind." It looks like an ant with wings Hitchiking it's final ride Counter Clockwise against the blue light It takes off and lands again The wheel shakes as my unbalanced tires reach 75 I turn the volume **** two notches up Clockwise against the blue light "The stress burns my brain, like acid raindrops."

The last dance of a winged ant as I listen to the people under the stairs
