The Balance Theory

Contributed by skelington on Thursday, 26th February 2004 @ 04:14:24 PM in AEST
Topic: MiscPoems



Looking in as an outsider, I have seen you slip. Are you really happy, or just trying to forget.

Every joyful moment is reciprocated by a desperate and lonely thought.

Force it out of you mind, shove it all aside.

If we all changed to the lifestyle you're suggesting, what would be the end result?

Would we be perfect, plastic hiding our grief in a shell of a conscience until it bursts at the seams?

Or would we be able to deny our frstration entrance and live a perfect existance.

Chemical cage, freated around ourselves.

There is a balance, negativity needs to exist, pain needs to persist otherwise the moments of joy we experience would lose their relevance. The creation is just a veil covering your self-destruction.

Everything you know is a lie.

What a daring and profound last line. It is quite a statement to make, but in some respects, true. Maybe just not everything.
