Spend each second carefully
And count the change you're given:
Resist the urge to loose your grip
Nor let yourself be driven.
or
Leap forth into the world,
Explode upon the scene,
Catch fire like summer brush
And shine for all to see.
It's not a game to win or lose
The life you live is yours to choose.
There comes a point when it stops hurting. When the pain is replaced by numbness. When all that remains is emptiness.
And in a way that’s a good thing – there might be no joy, no happiness but there is no hurt either. Only a silent void. Absence of feeling, deathly serenity.
They say ignorance is bliss and they might well be right – insulation from feelings brings a certain clarity to my mind, in which state I may contemplate choice of actions rationally.
Except…
I am faced with hard choices that bear the seeds of possible futures. I could continue on my present course in the expectation that further hurt lies ahead or I could turn aside onto a new, unknown path. I fear the unknown but can hardly bear the life I have. Is my despair enough to drive me over the barrier of my fears?
