Just Live

[angela_n_hunt]

Pain is no reason for stopping
Giving up is the only crime
Put a knife in my hand, I'll keep running
Keep going, do or die

This world is one of our making
No other hand, no other mind
My eyes may burn from the waking
But I'd rather wake than sleep walk

It's not the life I wanted
But what is?
I'll keep going, even haunted
It's better than an early grave

Don't call me home yet, Lady
You'll have to drag me from the field
Don't tell me it's over, Lady
I'll know that well enough in my bones

So one last toast to the Dead
A remembrance for the rest who are dying
I just need to stay out of my head
And remember it's enough to just live

Really???

o.O

Okay. I see I have my marching orders. :)

Yep. And drop the request for the candy wrappers.

And never forget:

“I am the Leviathan of pop culture.

My strides encompass vast territories; my footsteps shaping the landscape. My thoughts will be their obsessions; my whims their rapacious desires.

I will be relentless. I will be ruthless. I will be strong. I will be unstoppable. Not because it is the option I choose, but because there is no other option.

I am of the Romantic Underground, and we cannot be stopped, because we do not acknowledge the rules of those who wish to stop us. They have no power, no authority, no influence which we do not wish them to have.

We are of a lineage that includes more than writers and artists accustomed to being beaten down, marginalized, and humiliated. We are of the lineage of Ozymandias and Alexander, and we will take everything that can be hurled at us, shrug it off, move ahead, and claim the territory that belongs to those willing to pay the price to claim it.

We’re not IN publishing. We’re at war. And I don’t intend to lose.”
