PATHETIC
Why did I bother? Why did I venture?
What did I want?
What do I want?
I look, but does anyone look?
I suggest, but don’t listen
I fish and am fished.
I grab the hook and bleed
I tease and am teased.
I fool and I am a fool
What was it I was looking for?
What did I hope to find?
What do I hope to find?
Totally empty
Totally void
Why must I listen, why must I hear?
Why can’t it be resisted?
If I told them honestly, how much would it hurt?
Do I care if it hurts? Should I care if it hurts?
Aimless, pointless, mysterious
Is the truth ever there?
Is the truth ever seen?
Is the truth ever felt?
Is there truth?
I should just give it all away.
I should empty what little is left
I doubt what was certain
I lost whatever I had
Do I bother looking?
Do I bother searching?
Do I bother feeling anything?
Do I bother you??
The reward is there
We don’t see it.
We can’t see it.
It is not for us
Patience is necessary,
Do I have any left?
Memories and momentos
Scattered and filed
All at once they could be gone
Would I miss them?
What is value?
What is worth?
What is love?
Drown the ache
Mute the words
Reach and not be reached
Take the risk, why worry about the result?
Take the risk, why worry about a reward?
Why did I come here?
Should I stay?
There is a responsibility, a commitment.
One mis-step can throw it all away
Do I care?
DO I???
Who really listens anymore?
Who really understands?
Our minds are clouded, infected, possessed
Our souls are condemned, infected, bargained
Where is the discipline?
Where are the lessons?
Where are the teachers?
The sun will set soon.
What waits in the Garden?
The clock ticks, do we hear it?
I do.
I filled myself by emptying words
But like any fuel it must be replenished
Is there eternal fuel?
Or is the thirst never to be quenched?
Why did I come here?
It doesn’t matter.
It doesn’t matter what you think.
Pathetic isn’t it?
