COMMITMENT TO LIFE

Dear world,
I'm kind of fond of you
but I don't get your ways.
I've tried, God knows I have –
while He laughed like mad
at my stupidity...
At my failed attempts to do it
»my way«.

He cried his eyes out while
I was dying in my efforts
to make myself small,
compromised myself
forced myself to fit in
raped myself with ideas
of what I »should be«...

Fuck the »shoulds«
and just be!

Nevermind the deniers
their name of the game is
»Bigger, better, faster, more«
and it's never enough.

My oath is to Life and Life only!
May those who worship death
be well... but I bid farewell.

It's a lonesome road
but I'm not alone anyway...

I've never felt more like Me
but i've never felt more
dead to the world as I do now.

Tears of sadness flood my face
in mourning for the world
and tears of joy stream down
in relief and sense of freedom.

And all is well. All is well...
