INSIDE MY SHELL IT FEELS LIKE HELL, AND MY SOUL IS DYING. AS I CONTEMPLATE LIFE, DEATH, LAUGHING AND CRYING. FROM DAY TO DAY THEY ALL VARY, AND ARE MOSTLY TEMPORARY BUT I WRESTLE WITH LIFE, WONDERING WHY PEOPLE WOULD RATHER LIVE THAN DIE. IS DEATH LIKE BEING DRUNK? SLOWLY FAILING, LIGHTLY SAILING, KNEELING TO THE GROUND WITH A THUMP! DEATH DOESN’T SEEM THAT BAD TO ME. I THINK THAT’S WHERE I WANT TO BE. SO TONIGHT I’LL WATCH MY LIFE FAILING, AS I GO LIGHTLY SAILING... |
