others may have wine, i have poetry

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

yet somehow

I am living, I am breathing
and yet somehow I am not

This existence has no purpose
apart from the mundane ones

I am groping for something deeper
something more real
Anything substancial
and not superficial

I am yearning for truth
I am searching for answers

I am asking no questions
I am taking no chances

I am living because I breathe
I am breathing because I live

And yet somehow
I am doing neither
