I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

All Things are Relative
A flashlight
isn't quite sunlight
but any light at all seems bright
when you're looking in the dark. It's all about the way we receive it
how much we believe it
depending on the life you lead, if you lead it
compare it to yourself
compared to someone else, you care
and if you pick the threads in your closet
the cash in your wallet
the color of the skin in your blood and how you got it
compare it yourself
and someone else, you care
everything is relative
You're either underweight or you're unfit
underdressed or overzipped
too social or you're just too shy too depressed
or you're too high night to day
day to night
rich to poor
black and white
everything is relative
isn't quite sunlight
but any light at all seems bright
when you're looking in the dark. It's all about the way we receive it
how much we believe it
depending on the life you lead, if you lead it
compare it to yourself
compared to someone else, you care
and if you pick the threads in your closet
the cash in your wallet
the color of the skin in your blood and how you got it
compare it yourself
and someone else, you care
everything is relative
You're either underweight or you're unfit
underdressed or overzipped
too social or you're just too shy too depressed
or you're too high night to day
day to night
rich to poor
black and white
everything is relative

His thoughts...
"You will not be remembered if you die now. You will be buried and mourned by a few, and what more can you ask for. But you feel so tremendously alone because you fear that your blood is not strong or good and your friends are few and embattled, too. But so what. That is the answer. So what so what so what so what so what so what? The world will spiral out from underneath you, and you will find nothing to hold on to because you are either too smart or too dumb to find God and because what the fuck will Camus ever do for you? Just ideas. You are not an artist, you will not leave something behind. Maybe you are angry only because the way out is through love and you are horny and lonely. Maybe this is the way it is for everybody, only you are weaker, or less lucky, or have seen something they all have not. You have seen that before you lies a great stretch of road, and it is windswept or blasted by the hot sun or covered in snow, or it is dirt or concrete or shrouded in dark or bright and clear so you have to squint, but no matter what, it is utterly empty."
