A WELL INFORMED PAWN

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

it's a dingy hallway, sometimes
life that is
too much litter
too little landscaping
to beautify what remains
terrible innovators
they who do so little
and take so much credit
never to volunteer
when it's obviously
their own to blame
I stumble
as I feel my way down
these familiar corridors
I must take
vindicated or celebrated
all of it looks
strangely the same
I'm just here to do my job
live this life
make mistakes that
don't rob
another of their own soul's
thunder
I am
in very many ways

'Love this

Yeah. Life is but one big uncertainty. We trip over things we thought we know best. Could it be absentmindedness due to blind love, or carelessness over situations we felt we can handle? Whatever, I sometimes have the same question. If I was not born at all, i wouldn't have known the beauties and cares in this world so I won't be missing something I did not experience. Meaning, I wouldn't have minded not being another well informed pawn here on Earth.
