“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
― Sylvia Plath
Life is so frustratingly limiting
Time...or
lack thereof
make doing it all
seemingly impossible
I need more lifetimes
to try on all of the souls I wish to wear
to explore all the different paths
concocted in the trenches of my mind
to allow all of the different characters -
chattering below my surface
each itching for their chance
to breakout
create their own story
to consume me
one by one
There just isn’t enough time
to be everything I want to be...
Time is and always has been
a Thief
one step ahead
caging us in an hourglass
like circus animals
Us; always trying to crawl up that glass
for more
as the grains of sand slip through our fingers
It’s alright!
Siding with the burden of proof, who among us can say that such is not the creators intention. I have to think if something is simple enough to be seen as advantageous to a mere mortal, surely a creator with wisdom far exceeding even our wildest comprehension, has thought about it way before we did. Such a though provoking piece.
Thank you so much and I completely agree ❤
