Write Hard And Clear About What Hurts - E. Hemingway




They tend to blame us for how we feel 
And I'm alright with that because we should be able to control our emotions
But who do we blame when no one's to blame? 
During our adolescent years, who is in charge of our emotions?
Do we just let the good times kick in and roll with them?
 Or live a generic carefree life on a beach without worries?
Are we allowed to face up? 
Accept that we are struggling and the world fading is our fault
Have we become a liability to ourselves?
Fallen victims to our feelings?
I'm so tired of the fact that we stand in view watching people leave us
I mean, not to be a downer but this is pretty much what I think about on a daily basis
Why do all the great writers die a catastrophic death?
Notable musicians and actors expire before their due date and we call it life!
I question my beliefs and suddenly I'm a worshiper of the one below
We all hurt. We all hurt in different ways. 
Most of us hurt more than others
But how do we juvenile kids get over the pain?
We believe that we are invincible and immune to agony
Nonetheless, if we believed in that jut a bit more, we'd actually be what we say we are
Glancing across the views in front of us, thinking about how the other side lives
Not too differently from how you live except the fact that you have paper
But in the end, we all return to dust and become the same as we were before
Purely dust and nothing more
So read all the great books you dream of reading, travel to the cities you want to go to
Write furiously about what you feel  like I've just done because things do get better after a while 
We may live inversely but if we were more attentive we'd see how loosely connected we all are to one another
Even to Ernest Hemingway
