So Much More Than A Madness
Without antecedents
we have nothing,
but can still choose what
we want us to be ..
I know how to starve,
to deny
and to punish myself ..
But refuse
to eat rainbows or play
silly leaving games ..
I just need to know
how many resurrections
we are each
allowed these days ..
Without feeling
something missing inside ..
I really need to be
famous you see, for the
remaining fifteen
minutes, left of today ..

Beautiful dear Nev, your reflection and pain is raw in this and I have to say your last lines are truly goosebump lines, because we all need to feel noticed at some point. ❤️
what could be better than that .. thank you so bloomin much my friend .. Neville ❤️
A fine write N.
I never knew it was 11.45pm now - eh?! 15 mins left.
I was famous in my life for 15 mins (so far). KP was famous for all of her life except 15 seconds - so she says.
there are certain types of May fly that are reputed to live for only around thirty seconds .. just imagine what they have to cram into their entire lifetime ..
Yes, they probably fly round the world 7,483 times in their 30 seconds!
that sounds more like a May bee
Oh lol. You spent that extra second we had one year, or you still saving it up?!
!!!BRILLIANT!!!
'But refuse
to eat rainbows or play
silly leaving games ..'
