And I, who thinks too deeply
And I, who so sweetly whispers in your
ear,
Have no reason to dislike the people I
don’t know,
And I, who loves so strongly and
completely,
Have no reason to suspect the worst of
you,
And I, who so often sees the good in the
bad,
Have no reason to draw straight lines.
The world is never as it seems
A stranger told me how the world would
die,
He said its very soul would melt,
He said that we would fade into the
distance,
The world as we know it is dying.
Our lives so short wasted on success,
Wasting our time on succeeding,
We spent our days blinded,
And I, who sees the beauty in all,
Have no answer to why we live so
blindly.
We spent our days living on a thought,
One thought that drives our every move,
And I, who thinks too deeply,
Have thought too much about the meaning
of thought.
Be that as it may, never assume yourself
to be weaker
Than the very thoughts of man;
A single thought can break a heart,
A single thought can free a soul,
The ideas of man are weapons,
The ideas of man can heal.
And who am I? Who am I to say that a
thought is wrong?
Who am I to say that you were wrong?
Ah but, who are you to say that you were
right?
Seriously Blogspot? I post a lengthy post and you delete it after I hit "Publish"?? Bloody hell. The one time when you DON'T pre-type it on notepad or something like that...bah!
ReplyDeleteSo let's try this again, shall we? The good thing about this happening is, that you get to rewrite everything. The BAD thing is, that you don't remember everything you said. :P
Anyway, it's been almost exactly a year since I had written a - far too long - reply to your sad post (at least it's almost exactly, to the day, one year that you had written it :P) and I was wondering how you were holding up, if at least things were starting to look up for you. :)
You haven't updated this blog in over ten months, so I don't even know if this will get to you, but I'll say it anyway. It's too bad that you don't update any more, as I quite enjoy your poetry.
I had hoped you'd get back to me, alas you were very busy as you mentioned on Google Chat....Hangouts is what they call it nowadays, I think. I wrote you a reply there, but sadly you don't seem to use that any more. At least from the status, it seems you've never even read my reply back in...February? Ah, I don't know. Not that important.
What's important is, that I hope you are feeling better. Back when I wrote those words, I could really feel with you, or at least think I did. I still don't know what the underlying problem was. Just that it sounded so familiar. Different, but the same result(s). If that makes sense.
So naturally I hope the best. It also helps that my year was horrible, so at least ONE of us has to have some luck. ;)

P.S.: How do you sign such a post? "(Kind) Regards" sounds like I'm writing an official letter. "Yours" seems to personal for someone you've never met. "Love" is even worse. Gah? Help! Uneducated German needing assistance! :P
