A Pretty Mess

Celebrate the imperfection, for it is all there is.

why do you try to float?
why do you try to escape?
when all it does is sink you deeper
into the very abyss you came from.

why do you look for the light?
why do you care for the warmth?
when all that is there,
is there right within.

when your life’s lost its little rhythm,
All that you know is so deep and hurt
and everything you are is a wrenching mess,
Know that there is nowhere to go
and there is nothing worthwhile
but Everywhere to be
and Everything to become

What is this? A pretty mess or an ugly perfection?
For you see my dear, the creation is imperfect
and the existence is off-beat
