Unliveable

Thoughts over the course of a day. Whilst watching Equus, listening to Pulp and escaping the day and/or life. Cause we're all just merely escaping life instead of living it. So, are we really here?

If all we're doing is escaping life in some way or another,

Then are any of us really here?

If we're all just thoughts and thoughts of thoughts,

Then are any of us really thinking?

If we're all either sleeping too much or not enough,

Staying up late for no reason and yet tired of life,

Then are any of us really awake?

Somebody's someone everybody's no-one,

Not long to go but nowhere to go,

You can't go on yet you do.

Want to leave but you don't,

Going nowhere but everyone's always going somewhere.

If we left out the lies in our lives then it would become unliveable.

If you live forever past the present, 

You'll find there's nothing there other than what's past.

If you live and die for the truth you'll discover that it was a lie.

It's easy to make a mess of our lives,

Everything is clutter and we're all someone else's mess.

Life is stupid. That's why people spend their lives doing stupid things. 

To prove that we're not stupid.

Are any of us really here?

We say we're doing fine when we're not,

Everyone's someone else's nightmare.

We've all got it wrong yet we're all right,

This world is a nightmare of a nightmare

And you're my nightmare.

You won a depressing poem badge!? I'm impressed lol

But seriously, I really like the word play in this. Reminds me of ee cummings "anyone lived in a pretty how town"

anyone lived in a pretty how town
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn't he danced his did

Women and men(both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isn't they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain

I think it's the almost stream of thought and word connections, which although playful and somewhat paradoxical, belies a sadder core. Everything in this poem is both true and untrue.

I applaud, with one hand clapping.
