Lifes' Manuscript (Spinning Out)

By Tegs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Why am I writing this?It's not as if anyone really understandsor tries to at all.It's just all, so you can compare yourselvesand feel good about being normal.But what if you're not?What if it's us, those people slightlyoff the wall.Who are truely the sane oneswith our dreams of a better place.Or is this the better place?And we're all really doomed to wallowhere forever.When we die we just return in another form, to be tortured more.Did we need this knowledge?Would we somehow have been better not knowingabout life.Then there's also the universe, and everything.Why is there? Why do I want to know.Is life just a matrix?Put there for us to ponder over but,never understand.Always asking, never knowing what's real,and what's just our minds playing tricks.So are you normal?or is it I who has the greater understanding thatyou're in denial.What a sad way to be. At least I have a hope,of breaking free, for knowledge is the first step.To greatness. Written October 29th, 2001 © on Oct 29 2001 03:07 PM PST   0 • 10
