I live here.

I’m not living for what may happen
I live for what is happening
this life right now
here in this place
in which I can think
in which I can feel
in which I can hear
in which I can smell
I can see
I live here
and even if I lost my senses
I would know this place is
and always has been real.

Rather than preparing for after
I choose to make the healthier choices
for this life to be longer lasting
and I don’t allow myself burdened
by an infinite dictator
because if it is true
there is life after this
count me out
if it’s ruled
by a so called creator
that created us in their image
I say no thanks
I’ll never be ready
to commit to that
for in death
I rather believe
there is no one left
to answer to.


Thanks for reading.
