A few drops fall from a leaf
Somehow slowing in time
As the graceless fight against gravity
Hit's the surface of the infinite loop
The ripples shattering perfectly
whilst stillness shudders in chaos
I cannot escape these truths
All I am and will be has already been
Nothing but the silence of being
And the faint traces of my action
Remain a stain in the place of my life
It feels as if I am already dead
Or numbed by this, our modern world
I cannot escape these truths
Each moment too hideous, each moment too frightening
The weight of perpetual motion drowns out the suffering
How can I fathom my essence in this the present tense
I barely know my own face, I can barely hold a stare
I am certain of nothing but live in a world of absolutes
Absolutely I don't belong yet by this, I am defined
I cannot escape these truths

I think everyone lives by so many (and more) absolutes but their certained minds work hard to hinder them from realisations like for example; they are what they are, and thus never even understand themselves or why or what they do/did, subsequently they are lying and pretending to themselves. i think to acknowledge is better - and not to escape.x.p
