Do You

“With a knife in my chest, I felt nothing.”

We are placed on this earth without being asked and left to our own devices.
What more are we to do then live by desire? Live our “true” life.

But what then, if this causes pain to others? Or holds them back from their true lives.?
Do we all pursue our dreams with those that succeed as beacons of false hope to those that forever run while arriving nowhere?
And will you be happy?

If you stand at the peak, at the pinnacle, will you feel pride?
Or will you feel the uncertainty in the ground below you, as you stand on the corpses of those below?

Will you sleep restlessly with their voices echoing behind your own every time you speak?

Will you find solace or terror in your own reflection?
Or will you see the pain you inflicted every time you meet your own gaze?
Will you feel that pain?

You are part of this world, not above it and not below it.
You do not move through it.
You do not conquer it.
You are part of this world.
