We live to die to live
I'll admit that sometimes I still get a little depressed
Since I know everything, I have Will one day come to its end
In any second
With any given breath
Which usually begs my question Have I done everything I can to make the time I occupied this skin resort, that
I was lent purposefully or made this borrowed time worth the moments I was gifted to spend
Breathing sometimes suffocating Nevertheless, living to die inevitably with each new lifecycles end
Ponder ponder
Wonder no more
The days I spent were meant to add to Another cycle of passing through the living revolving door
I’ll come back again
With a different mask
In a new lent space
With a restart of time
Trying to live every day
Knowing one day I’m going to die While desperately surviving this different but same same life That will one day again be taken without reason
Damn. It’s a conundrum, isn’t it When you stop and analyze all of it
Like umm wow how refreshing. When life throws me a new ball I’m forced to catch
After life decided to launch one with its lesson bat but in one of my past lives, I was a catcher
Wasn’t I? So, I learned something, yet I get dealt with these repetitive lives with this same same but nothing living
Greater than pain with constant reminders I’ll be here again, one day
And sometimes I just can’t help but think can someone, anyone, please press skip end, don’t repeat.
As luck may have it though, my thoughts have changed
So, not today, old way of thinking.
I’m trying to see what I can learn now
To take with me, I don’t know what happens when this end
Or if I will end up repeating the same mistakes when I come back, If I come back again. I mean, after all, what would the point be
To return to a new life with the same past thinking If I keep messing up and not learning anything the next cycle will repeat
until I change the same same, different way of whatever I’m doing thoughtlessly causing the next life ripples of pain before I even take a seat. Living mindfully as we all live to die to live
Hopefully
