Description
body div#devskin0 hr { }
Four walls the size of earth.
A world the size of a small room.
That is where I am living.
A window the shape of a computer screen.
My vacation, a paperback book.
It's never enough.
People, and places that don't exist.
Love that will never be returned.
It boarders on obsession.
And in this world of four walls,
Windows filled with light pixels, and make believe,
I lose myself.
I lose what I am.
I forget what it means to be HUMAN.
The most important piece of who I am.
But what is a girl to do?
What a piece of work is a man?
That we should act like a god.
We are but mortal.
We hold no key to Heaven.
No 'get out of jail free card'.
We have no power.
And no peace from this life.
This existence of humanity.
It is anything but short.
Yet in a flash we are old.
And we stand at those pearly gates.
And we have nothing to show.
No leverage.
Nothing that would make us worthy to enter Paradise.
We stand there empty.
All our Idols broken.
All our exits blocked.
And it is then that we see what we have truly become.
A cold, faithless, heathen.
Obsessed with earthly desires.
Pandora's box has consumed everything.
And there is no way to stop it from growing.
But we can stop it from winning.
We can close the lid on the laptop.
We can open that window,
We can break down those walls.
We can be free.
We just have to want it.
We just have to try.
I won't let my humanity destroy me.
I will own my life.
I will not let it own me.
