I wish I could bring it all together right now.
I've always had a really powerful 6th sense about things, and that sense tells me that there have been very few points in my life that never happened before and will never happen again. Astronomy and physics have begun to see time differently, and I've begun to as well. I strongly feel pulls in every direction, and I know that everything is everywhere, experiencing everything all the time. But if I could just get ahead of the game, and bring it all together now... Maybe I could make it all better. Maybe I could slowly shave off all the suffering. Attach them all to moments that only happen once, and maybe people could start getting past trauma and their own offenses.
That's convoluted, and not anything that could actually be described or conceived of. But has it been the only thing all along? Also, it just sounds really fun. I'm not gonna lie, I want to learn and see everything by the time I'm done. I want to invent new things to learn and see.
I wish I could...
Until then, I guess I'ma just keep my day job and keep my eyes peeled for everything I can.
I wish I could be perfectly healthy, both physically and mentally. I don't know if I'm making excuses for myself and I'm just lazy, but I feel like my health problems keep me from accomplishing anything. My dad used to yell at me for having no ambition, but he also called me a worthless piece of *** all of the time. He yelled at me for not ever getting anything done right. I didn't want to do anything because of that.
If I were perfectly healthy, though, I would feel more capable of action. I'd have confidence (maybe). Then I think I could do things, and do them right.
I wish I could live with myself
Well, I can, but I'm not myself these days
I'm some sort of creature my parents have fashioned
And he's simply unbearable
He hates it when I can't get my work done
Yet the fool gets tired so easily
What does he want from me?
I wish I could figure out the oh-so-delicate balance
Please the restless little guy
Don't worry- I'll do my best to finish
And maybe then, we can finally rest?
And you thought I was done!
No, we never stop.
But someday we'll get a break, maybe
