Today I’m thirty six.
What for, my God, do I live?
Less energy, health, less joy.
Death’ threshold, the Judgement of Yours.
I’m tired of walking near,
I’m tired of fighting demons.
I’m tired of this sad play,
And I ask you to stop the Game!
The four people whom responded to this poem all took the same approach: They offered some kind of optimism against your perceived pessimism] I'm going to take a different approach: Everything you wrote is true and it's not pessimism to acknowledge the bitter truths in the nature of things. It takes a clear mind to do so, and that clear mind is your first victory. For you this is Act III scene 1 of HAMLET: To be or not to be - that's the threshold you confront. You get to choose: accept the truth or fight against it. Choose either one - they both work to nudge your life forward. Or be a quietist on the odd days and a fighter on the even days - that should brighten your life with variety. But no more talk of pessimism - Call it super-realism and let your imagination choose the next step into a new year in life of Liza S.
