living contradictions
slow seasons turning
they mark off my extra days –
how am I still here?
if to wake up is a lie,
can I not one day refuse?
excerpt from Songs Without End
“You know, I was supposed to die when I was your age.
For some reason I’ve had two extra years… it’s strange.
I should not be alive.”
– Ryū
Thank you for sharing your interpretation! This gave me a new insight as well.
