Mindcage
phoenix
25 Feb 2003
A mind compressed by fear, stunned by the vastness of all it can and can >never comprehend. >There are cages of the mind we willingly lock ourselves into. >Reason takes over every passion, lust, wanderlust, poetry, fantasy, hate >and love. >The mind is a terrible thing. Like a tyrannical parent who loves you to >death, but will not unlock your chains, will not give you your freedom, >will dominate through weakness, will whisper your insecurities to you in >the dead of night. >Passion drains away, leaving a residue, thick, wet, slimy, and nothing can >get it out. Every mouthful of life carries that bitter aftertaste forever. >Fluorescent lighting, white naked glare above pigeonholes where beings >afraid to live hunker down in fear, forgetting joy and lust and craving, >and waiting only for the eternal clock to strike 530, the end of the work >day. Scurry home to half-empty glasses, little ants. Hide away your stores >for the winter; you never know when bad times may come. >Stop living, it only makes it worse. >Don't breathe, you might not get another lungful. >Don't smile, you may lose yourself. >Don't imagine freedom, you'll be cursed for ever. >What is the logarithm of life? >My soul is tired, I need a break. I must see green mountains and blue >falls. >Escape is impossible. Expensive too. Dream webs are uprooted by the prickly >dusters of practical reality. >Each day I die, each day I am reborn, but with each rebirth, something of >me breaks away, a little of the heart here, a little of the soul there. >Tempus fugit. >Insanity is so liberating.
Written at my office desk as I realized, during dictating a letter,just how lifeless my life is
