So…
I was thumbing through an old journal this evening, when I came across this piece I wrote when I was around fourteen years old (you should see my handwriting!!).
Fourteen was a long time ago so I don’t remember what inspired it, but revisiting it tonight, I think I may have been on to something!
Enjoy.
The Whole Story
I know not anger
therefore
I can not recognize calm.
I have not experienced sadness
therefore
I do not know joy.
I have never been cruel
therefore
I can not be kind.
I have no quarrels
therefore
no friendships.
I have not met with desire
therefore
I am no acquaintance of fulfillment.
I have never suffered
therefore
I will not gain.
I have not been defeated
therefore
I can never succeed.
I have not harbored hatred
therefore
my heart can not shelter love.
I can not ever die
therefore
I shall never live.
