I feel like I want
it.
Excuse, me I need it.
Give me you. Don’t
hold back.
You are amazing, I am
guessing.
A bird does not hold
back its passion.
He awakes early and
sings with all its might
He voices an opinion everyone
hears but no one listens too.
Then I grab the .22
and drop the sucker out of the tree.
His passion means
nothing to me, he is just noise.
So what about my
passion?
Does she really hear
me? Or does she grab her gun?
REVISION
Closed System
The world gave me
knowledge and in return I gave my service
I served the knowledge
and it granted me happiness
The world granted me
knowledge.
Many of friends were
granted the knowledge as well, and they were happy.
However, the world
was not fair.
The knowledge was
given to the unwise and they abused its power.
Or at least that is
what I thought.
With the knowledge
came envy
The world gave me the
gift of jealousy
The knowledge soon
became unclear and I misunderstood the world.
I wanted to misuse
the knowledge and still remain happy.
But I could not disobey the knowledge.
Nature became my
teacher.
I learned of the
world before knowledge.
The birds who did not
hold back their passion taught me how to live.
I wanted to be one
with their teachings but I could not disobey the knowledge.
My friends with the
knowledge seem unhappy now.
I recognize their
sadness.
I see their pain.
I can never disobey
the knowledge.
I have tried to
disobey the knowledge and that only sends me running back.
The knowledge
controls me.
I am one with the
knowledge.
I can never be
without the knowledge.
I… can…never…be…without…the...
no
I love seeing these ideas develop. You've moved from that moment of attraction/curiosity, to a larger metaphor for openness, to something even more philosophical. The movement from specific to abstract. The conclusion wants to undermine it all, however, right? This movement toward abstract/philosophical feels like a strong current for you.
