What It Was And What It Wasn't

Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps; for he is the only animal that is struck by the difference between what things are and how they might have been.

Row

I never thought I would miss you so much
Every day is filled with memories of you
These days I would have used to get out and clear my head
but the rain has kept me locked in for days and my mind has become clouded with thoughts of you
It takes strength not to call you or is it stubbornness?
Do I deny that everything is fine with me?
Could I consul myself to this point?
It feels so hard to do and sometimes, so wrong
Am I fighting the loneliness or genuine feelings of missing your touch?
I remember weekend mornings, walking out the door while you slept peacefully
It always brought a smile to my face
Anytime I could lie next to you I felt at peace
Now all I feel is the cold creeping towards me in the middle of the night, a void where you often laid
And when I awake you are not there
It wasn't so much what you said or what you did but your presence that I admired
All things familiar have lost their meaning and I don't want anyone else as a substitute
So I will continue to take it one day at a time and wait for your image to fade away
This time it's different
This time it is so hard
I loved you
I know I did
I know because I feel alone in every way possible
I hope you are doing "well" and not "good"

An Occasional Chance To Feel Strong

The seas only gifts are harsh blows
And an occasional chance to feel strong
Now I don’t know much about the sea
But that’s the way it is here
And I also know how important it is in life to not be strong but to feel strong
To measure yourself at least once
To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions


-Christopher McCandless "Alexander Supertramp"

Knowledge of Self (Determination)

Knowledge of self is like life after death
With that you never worry about your last breath
Death comes, that's how I'm livin, it's the next days
The flesh goes underground, the book of life, flip the page
At exactly which point do you start to realize
That life without knowledge is, death in disguise?
That's why, knowledge of self is like life after death
Apply it, to your life, let destiny manifest
