mysteries of being alive

People don’t understand

Their hearts are closed and brains full of logic

They see with their eyes hear with their ears

Thinking that’s what experiences mean.

Grind an extra hour out of work

Push another mile out of a run

It always falls apart

Gorilla tears

Breathless gasps

Shaking not from the cold

Exhausted

A change must be made

Things change

Until life becomes comfortable again

Grind an extra hour out of work

Push another mile out of a run

Soul screaming

When will people learn

Life isn’t about repression but expression

The screams from a soul are unmistakable

But easily forgettable

Being human is hard

People don’t understand

The soul speaks

It’s our job to listen.
