i've torn apart
the shadows of this
world and read
the Lie

here is what i've learned

within the body there
exists the flame,
and when one has the flame
life is worth living

you're energised to leap
out of bed and perform
all the tasks that you
rationally know
are pointless

when the flame
goes out:
you prepare
yourself for suicide

there is never any meaning
or rational explanation
for the will to live

you either have
the flame
or you don't

seek the flame
and kindle it
