I endlessly wonder if everything happens for a reason.
3/12/2020
Highs and lows
Still no one knows
Just when it happens
That it’s your time to go
And me I’m nothing
If not a survivor
So I live without fear
Live like there’s no tomorrow
And learn like I’ll live forever
I always find
The silver lining
And the glass half full perspective
And while I’m not exactly where
I would’ve wanted
At age sixteen
But it could have been
A thousand times worse
Glass half full
The push and pull
Of freewill vs fate
There are programmes
In my head
That sent me to hell
And programmes
That got me through that hell
To a place that’s strange and significant
Let the summer sun
Burn away the filth
Let the ocean
Wash away the dirt
Of a decade of misfortune
And bad decisions
Make no mistake
Life is as beautiful
As it is ugly
And maybe we all fall
In between the good and the bad
And reach a certain kind of perfection
In our dying breath
Where all of a sudden
It all makes sense
And there’s nothing left
To meet the angels and embrace
The mystery of eternity

I borrowed the learn like you’ll live forever line from a good friend who says it often. I believe that we need novelty and new information to live well cognitively.
It’s a beautiful thing to evolve and change in the light of freedom and inner strength. Every day a decade of misery gives way to a future of hope and content.
I really like the idea of reaching perfection in our dying breath and I endlessly wonder if everything happens for a reason or if life is just chaos.
A very, very beautiful and meaningful poem, Christo! ❤ Enjoy your weekend!
