Poem of Life

May 19, 2005 20:51

I had an interesting time in english for once. Today we read poems by T.S. Eliot and they effected me very deeply. The line "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die", keeps echoing through my head. I try and live my days like i could die at any moment wondering if the world we exist in isnt anything but an illusion used to hide the fact that we are all insignificant and tiny. Everyday people look at each other for a reason to love, hate, kill, hold..... When will we learn to find the light in our own minds and blind out all other thoughts that cause others pain? Ive accepted the final stroke of time and have found my life to be enlightened. My friends, my family (those that i can stand) and especially Melissa all get me through the mist of life and pull me into a world of others were ive learned not to be so self reliant and manipulative. As far as those ive hurt.....im sorry but in those dark times i thought of no one but myself and used anything and everything to fill the hole of my existence by any means necessary.
