Mind over Matter
We're broken people
 You, me, and everyone else
 We are these completely incomplete objects
 we go through life, and thats it
 we are just going through it
 nothing more or less
 They say that since humans are the only creatures with the concept of time
 we have this fear of time running out
 and I agree
 how are my actions not 100% motivated
 by my fear of my time ending
 Im solely being pushed forward by my unquenchable thirst
 to have recognition and validation
 and even when I get it it, it too I know will die
 and thats the problem of life, at least for me
 I am seeking this feeling that I know is of 
 a temporal and time sensitive matter
 My actions and thoughts could never be constantly 
 be made valid…
 And while I know this, I can't escape it…
 There lies my second problem
 I know what I feel is illogical and unobtainable
 but for the life of me can not escape it…
 I'm the man on the journey who can only ever travel halfway to the destination
 I will get so close to my goal, but I know that it is impossible to make it all the way
 So where do I go from here…
 knowing my desire is an impossible feat
 so thats the question
 How does one handle the unobtain-ability of escaping the death of the passing of time
 I am but a moment even to myself...
