It amazes me that the world is so full of contradictions
I’m sorry, I meant life is full of contradictions
I’m sorry, I mean living
I mean me
Me living life
Me living
Me alive
Me alive is the biggest oxymoron I can think of
Me alive is constantly thinking of ways to die
Me alive spends most of their time not living at all
This poem punches from the first line and goes on punching and punching again. To be alive and yet to wish to die. You’ve pulled apart the very existence of ourselves here – painfully and powerfully. I’ve been there. You do get through, I promise.
