Mind over Matter
We're broken people
You, me, and everyone else
We are these completely incomplete objects
we go through life, and thats it
we are just going through it
nothing more or less
They say that since humans are the only creatures with the concept of time
we have this fear of time running out
and I agree
how are my actions not 100% motivated
by my fear of my time ending
Im solely being pushed forward by my unquenchable thirst
to have recognition and validation
and even when I get it it, it too I know will die
and thats the problem of life, at least for me
I am seeking this feeling that I know is of
a temporal and time sensitive matter
My actions and thoughts could never be constantly
be made valid…
And while I know this, I can't escape it…
There lies my second problem
I know what I feel is illogical and unobtainable
but for the life of me can not escape it…
I'm the man on the journey who can only ever travel halfway to the destination
I will get so close to my goal, but I know that it is impossible to make it all the way
So where do I go from here…
knowing my desire is an impossible feat
so thats the question
How does one handle the unobtain-ability of escaping the death of the passing of time
I am but a moment even to myself...
