... because we are human

and we feel and we gasp for air

even when we know there's no air

and that our end is coming.

how nice it is to possess nothing but the freedom of truth and the acceptance of reality

Only when you're utmost true to yourself can you be entirely free. The is no other way to it. And then yes, truth sets you free.

Like many people around the world who don't have the basic conditions of living secured, I just wished I had a safe and peaceful place to live, where I could sleep and eat well.
It's exhausting when you don't have the basics in order to survive with the minimum standards for living and plus no bliss at all to make you keep going.
It has been so much time now and it doesn't come to an end. Enduring just for nothing is too damn perverse.

Larger than life

When you're better and larger than life, you don't fit in her and neither does she in you.
You've got people writing poems for you, you've got them composing songs for you, making you their inspiration.
And all that because you've lived lives larger than life.

Lacking bliss and fascination to continue...

The Artist

Silver hair
golden skin
never fat
always thin

Never sold a poem
or a painting,
wouldn't even try it.

Knew hunger and cold
knew pain and gold

Just an artist as told.

I've always taken it pure, the raw deal, I fly solo, no football, no religions, no animals, no rainbows, no discos, no company, no ointments.

Reddish skies and yellow rivers won't take my mind of you. And as soon as it dies it is reborn, always in a perpetual sweet and universal creation.
So be mine, be kind, and don't let the good spirits fly. 

On the Mood

No one really pays much attention to what really causes someone's mood, especially when in the case of being a bad mood. The main thing that matters to people is the current effects on others.

Even if someone asks why we're upset or happy - because they only tend to notice and ask when we're in these opposite and more intense feelings -, trying to know what happened, usually we only point out one reason. But the fact is that our constant mood depends on so many factors, including invisible ones to ourselves, that it's really hard to have any control on how we feel, though no one seems to acknowledge this, probably because it would mean - besides that we can't control it as we thought - that the old saying of "you choose how things affect you and how you deal with them" is not that valid and it's been making you delude yourself.

So our mood and how we are feeling on a day-to-day basis can be affected mainly by factors that are out of our control, though we're the ones feeling it all. From top of my mind I can list factors such as genetics, light/sun exposure, food that changes the chemical hormonal composition (such as chocolate, for example), bad and good past experiences that imprint in our organism memories of feelings that  are instantly replicated when the same or similar experiences are repeated (including traumas, as cerebral/mental triggers of especific moods and feelings).

Again, we are always much more than what we think we are or even of what we are capable of realizing.
