So it is another day. the sun rose as predicted
And i feel okay.. i feel good, relatively

I stopped questioning the emotions long ago, i just obey
From happy to furious and from ecstatic to psychotic... i am what i feel like these days

Of course I want to be a buddhist monk, and find the good in every moment
Evading the cynicism and negative with bruce lee reflexes

I dont want to need to tell people how I am, I want them to know I am doing well
I want my personality (the only thing that is real) to indicate more than anything else that I let nothing at all get to me...not even the death of my child.

Not even the death of my child.

Because my strength is like bruce lee's

You happily configure your body for rest
From a day most likely misspent
From morning to evening, every minute compressed
Wanting to be content

Your head finds the pillow and your arms hug the sheets
But your mind is still at a loss
This close-minded culture that you thought you could beat
Has nailed you firm to your cross

The weeks may seem to hint at progress
And the months symbolic of growth
But the unending obstacles and eternal stress
Negate the existence of both

you are tired in life and tired in bed
you are but perpetually dreaming
day after day, till all humans are dead
we are strugglers searching for meaning
