Mirrored Death:


Death in the mirror
Smiling, breathing, and sighing.
His breath falls upon me,
He's doing all the lying.
I just don't see the point
On why living causes dying.





I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

loved the poem dope...just one thing.

"I just don't see the point
On why living causes dying"

could you explain your thinking to me...if you want to...i'm just a little confused..maybe because i think life causes death...or at least it builds up to death heh.. well thank you...i hope i didn't **** the meaning up this line up in my head.

"'I am the the lizard king
I can do anything
I can make the earth stop in its tracks
I made the blue cars go away

Well Anomaly, this was written at a point in my life where i did not see the point in dying. I didn't understand the concept of why we live to die. I hated it, i hated the idea that we were just born to die. I didn't see the point on why living causes dying. Like, they are complete contradictions and yet, it can be considered alike. Why? Well its some sort of cosmic synonym. Like...IF we are living and are alive, then we must be dying and im some sense dead. I mean.....If the famous little saying that once you are born you commence to die is true and so on....then it only fits the poem perfectly. I just don't like the idea of that. I don't see the point. I dislike it, I despise it and OH WELL! hahaha, but i think a bit differently now.
