Newly discovered.
After today, this arbitrary day, I'm glad to repeal nearly every complaint I've made.
My back may be broken, but it isn't shattered
My body may be restless, but it doesn't sit in unrest
My eyes may be dull, but they still see the world transparent
My mind is quite possibly twisted, but it isn't unsharp
My intention may be distant, but it is seized
My focus might be scattered, but it is still piercing
My complacency may exist, but indifference isn't where it lies
I've had my exposure to the hard, brittled folks
Those that aren't malleable anymore, who refuse fluidity
They are unaware as they cast their lives into stone
And I sit, in peace, and remain conscious of the short time I've lived
Hoping, for now, that this briefness in time will last as long as possible
I'm not one to celebrate the obvious, questionable or unquestionable
As I may speak a new contradiction every day
But I've got 21 years behind me, 21 years that can't be unlearned, unlived
My back may be broken, but it isn't shattered
My body may be restless, but it doesn't sit in unrest
My eyes may be dull, but they still see the world transparent
My mind is quite possibly twisted, but it isn't unsharp
My intention may be distant, but it is seized
My focus might be scattered, but it is still piercing
My complacency may exist, but indifference isn't where it lies
I've had my exposure to the hard, brittled folks
Those that aren't malleable anymore, who refuse fluidity
They are unaware as they cast their lives into stone
And I sit, in peace, and remain conscious of the short time I've lived
Hoping, for now, that this briefness in time will last as long as possible
