So Much More Than A Madness

                                                                                    Without antecedents
                                                                                       we have nothing,
                                                                                but can still choose what
                                                                                      we want us to be ..
                                                                                  I know how to starve,
                                                                                            to deny
                                                                                 and to punish myself ..
                                                                                           But refuse
                                                                               to eat rainbows or play
                                                                                  silly leaving games ..
                                                                                  I just need to know
                                                                             how many resurrections
                                                                                       we are each
                                                                                allowed these days ..
                                                                                    Without feeling
                                                                            something missing inside ..
                                                                                  I really need to be
                                                                             famous you see, for the
                                                                                 remaining fifteen
                                                                              minutes, left of today ..

'I just need to know
how many resurrections
We are each
allowed these days
Without feeling
something missing inside...'

Well there you have it...the glorified bullshit about the wisdom of age when we realise...actually...how very much more confused and perplexed we are by life. 
As to how many resurrections, I truly believe whether we ever rise again correlates directly to the manner in which we were killed that final time. Wisdom says we choose our reactions....I say wisdom talks...shite...Great write x

Hello Neville...

Great write!

Many different paths for all of us...

​​​​​Marion's comment about wisdom could you might agree it's different things to different people?

If it's shite...

​​​​​​You can keep it...

I don't want it...

That's quite ok...

😂

Thank you for sharing...

well, after all these comments, it looks like you've found your famous fifteen today!

seriously though, I do agree that each time we pick ourselves up, and do a little reinventing, we lose a little more of ourselves each time.

I will always love big sparkly things and rainbows and fluffy kittens and magic (sighs and toddles off to call the fairies in for an extremely early supper) x
