when you're down on your luck
and you feel like you suck

A Few More Once Mores
03:26
|
|||
|
I am but a man, driving down a forgotten road. every so often, I close my eyes for just a moment to see how long I can drive before I become worried and open them out of fear.
What is fear? That which we cannot know? Should not know? Here I drive all alone, not a single other car for miles; since, after all, just about nobody lives way out here in the country. But every time I close my eyes, it always feels as though another vehicle is heading straight for me.
The road may be straight, but it only serves to exaggerate every little bump and slight movement. I know I can keep the wheel straight and that nothing is out here, so what is it? Is it death that I fear? The unawareness? Missing out on possible new visual stimuli?
...Truth is, when you're behind the wheel for long enough, you tend to forget you're in a giant, multi-tonne tin can traveling at speeds unimaginable. Each time I close my eyes, I am not exactly sure what it is that I fear so deeply, yet the feeling is so overwhelming that I can't bear to keep my eyes closed any longer. But I close them for a few more once mores.
...
We rely a lot on our eyesight. I would say it's something we take for granted but that seems like a bit much. When you're born with something, it's kind of hard to take it for granted; for when it is all you know- all you know to explore and understand the world around you- it becomes vital, and if anything, we are utilizing it exactly right and in the most effective way we can. When you lose that- that which is all you know- you feel very lost and out of place. Something is wrong. Something you can't possibly understand since your only way of understanding has just been stripped away from you. It brings with it the most intense uncomfortableness you might ever experience- and that is fear. A fear so undoubtedly real that you can't ignore it.
...
I open my eyes and see nothing but the open road ahead of me. They were closed for probably less than a second, but it felt as though time were as viscous as tar. And in that split second, I likely traveled about 10 times further than I would have had I been walking.
There's something thrilling about feeling that fear and then overcoming it. It's almost like you get a little bit closer to understanding exactly what it is that you fear, until you no longer fear it; until you prove yourself a "professional" or a "master", or that you realize you never really needed to fear in the first place.
There's a piece of mind that comes with understanding- experience: the only way to truly understand something. The only way to truly know what is important to you. The only way to truly know which emotions you feel, are real.
...
I wonder if there's a place around here I can stop to take a quick rest at... my eyelids feel so heavy...

sold everything for a pair of socks
livin inside a cardboard box
understand the people and their talks
doin what they can to walk their walks
wish i did more with my time
to waste it all feels like a crime
trapped inside mind like a mime
all to my name is a dime
not sure who i want to be
someone nice to a degree
what do i have to lose
someone's dream, not sure whose
and they call!
and they call.
it calls us all
until we're dead
until we've bled
and when we've shed
our final tear

and i know!
and i know...
some day...
we'll be..
we'll be
so free...
and we'll see
a dream..
that's ours
and it shines
like the stars
