"Waning Existence"
  by Flowet


Standing at the edge of this cragged life, vicious waters await my leap of faith

Sharks starve for a chance to sate their desire to feast on the flesh of one's weaker, overlooking what will become a watery tomb I ponder, what have I accomplished....nothing

I am a man whose existence bears no definition, plagued by de' ja' vu's repitition almost as if I am lost in the be-wilderness of life passing a tree that I've marked many times before, I know I've been here or is this just another trick mother nature has so decievingly conjured

Every single person I've encountered has so much going for them but it is said no to covet thy neighbors house, thy neighbors wife, asses and many other belongings but I do, not always wrongfully

I am in a moment welcoming sanity-in to my life and severing whatever strand of reality I possess

Help me!!!, it is what echoes in the air caressing my sea-breeze-kissed skin

My life is frail and every breath I take only allows another opportunity to shatter what I can not comprehend

Why am I here, a question that needs not to be answered yet do I not deserve one

A life lived for others but only accepting death at the foot of few, I am prepared for what is unexpected and left weak by it's confoundary all the same

So I leap, my body and soul seem to conversate as I accept this free fall fate fortold and plunge into the black bouls brewing below

Soul: you know you're taking from yourself what only One has the right to take

Body: and I accept whatever consequence I must, but this life is a burden I can no longer bear

Soul: says who, are you the judge who decides the final verdict no you are not you have no right to make this decision

Body: though you speak the truth, I am wrought with lies I carry for others my weight is not my own

Soul: so you should reconsider and think of those you are letting down

Body: please I beg of you let me pass in peace I require silence

As my fall enters a matrix of retard time and thoughts thrasing about inside of my cranium, inches before contact with the concrete liquids before me I regret and yet I still accept the decision I've made, selfish maybe but a releas from all that binds me in this world

My life flashes, and my soul's wise words vibrate causing a migrane of understanding, I black out

I awaken the light here is too bright at first but it starts to dim, the land before me is beautiful i hear birds cooing majestic sounds, the sun is beaming on my skin and I listen to wind as I notice I'm standing high in the atmosphere of some world

Waters are crashing against whatever I stand atop, peering over the edge I say....damn it all, I'm atop this cragged life once again, I walk away in disbelief something must be done I must fulfill whatever destiny awaits me....I guess

this is deep, i think for alot of people our body and soul seem to always be in a battle, life has a way of wearing us down...this is one that i can really relate to...i have been through this strugle...yet here i remain, i guess...trying to figure out my purpose in life...it really is not up to us if we go or stay....when it journey is done and we reach the end of our trail...that is only when our body and soul can both release...even though sometimes we wish we could speed up the process of de...
