No one ever said that life would be graceful.
Infiniti is present at every roll of the dice.
We live for our expectations as we fade with our regrets.
Striding through the curves of a seemingly random path.
Never deviate for more than a heartbeat.
Existential contradiction surrounds me and I breath it all in.

Living enables our habitual inability to abandon ourselves.

Fear, lust, reason, ambition. Happiness perhaps.
Tearing through the fabric of our human condition, we are living and leaving.

But how can we know how to live when no one showed us the way?
How can one person only know where the hurt is while another where happiness dwells?
Upon the remains of our latter days, all that we will bear to do is fade away.
Fade into the uncertainty that we failed to grasp.

But why must uncertainty be ignored?
The emotions that I evoke and reason with.
And the fear that consumes me.
If only I knew what will happen next.
No one will ever know when uncertainty will mocks us.
No one is true.

In my dreams, a beautiful face reaches out to kiss mine.
I am overwhelmed with moments of happiness that leave me feeling empty.
I refuse to wake up and regret inevitably follows.
My humanity beckons me to live.
And I can never be too strong.

As the tears drown my contradictions, I resolve to live.
I will deviate from the randomness.
And my heart skips a beat.
