reflect, just for the sake of knowing
over pain and love and all you caused
all we helped and hurt again
looking better as the days passed us by
in the present, we know it's all over nothing
sentient hit the fan days ago,
we envy the animals
and their simple ways
your aposable thumb, would you give it up for peace,
like we did, one hundred thousand years ago
would you add that one chromosome
in all of its decedance
just to see it all happier
or four to see it in
the new spectrum
to see with your submissive eye,
our heads are too swollen
but are hands are closed, makes no sense, it never did
it's an irritation
all because of us, we did it once more
life's greatest sin.

Walking up the stairs to the second floor of my high school, I caught myself looking out the big windows above me. At first, I saw the sky, but I came upon a simple realization about life; there's this huge universe out there.

            Now, of course I've known this since childhood, but this got me to thinking. I am thinking of a universe, I'm thinking of things beyond the galactic scale. I'm thinking of stars, and people, the Earth, the moon and beyond; there's an entire universe in my mind.

            So, naturally, this notion led me to yet another thought. That means there's an entire universe in everyone's head. Everybody on Earth has a universe that follows us around, trapped in their heads, until somebody has the good grace to voice their thoughts and let it trickle out.

            As of today, if my sources check out, there are 6,578,095,524 human beings alive on Earth. 6,578,095,524 sentient beings, all with their own hopes, dreams, and thoughts. I ask myself now, do all of these people look at the stars, or see the sky, breathe the air and realize they're so lucky? Probably not, but we are.

            So, in essence, that means that there are 6,578,095,524 universes on the planet right now. It's almost staggaring to me.  I wonder, is the Earth is weighed down by this?

Probably not.

Hey, there

Here you are, coming back to me

My friend, it's been way too long.

I've missed you, eons passing by

Diligently, making sure that you're missed

How long has it been?

Over at least, one hundred and thirty millenia

Add the four

Give us what we need

Until finally, we've seen it all

What's worth being watched

Until the skin breaks, and peels away

From the spot that it all lays

To meet with the third

He's been asleep for some time now

Dreaming of when, the time he will wake

And finally come to wash me dry

Still sleeping away

I am content. Frankly speaking, I am in a good mood.

Now, there are a lot of reasons why I shouldn't be in a good mood. I'm failing Algebra I due to my work, or lackthereof. I'm struggling in Chemistry, and didn't make the baseball team. My job sucks, and I hate where I live.

But none of that matters! I am content, and the bad vibes attacking my happiness are not going to succeed. Why am I content though? Well, I cannot exactly say, for as I said, the antagonists in my life should have me down. Maybe I just don't let these things get to me. Possibly I am more aware than others, for it is true that I know that none of the negative factors in my life are all that bad.

Or maybe I'm just blessed.

But, I digress. How was your day?
