It’s a Wonderful Half-Life
I live a half-life,
Full of half-baked things.
Half-friends, half-dreams, and half-songs to sing.
Half-formed goals for a half-planned tomorrow.
Half-done coping for half-felt sorrow.
The half-lived life, some think is insane.
With half-happy joy and half-seething pain.
But when life keeps threatening and belittling you,
You find it much easier just to cut it in two.
Only half-hearts to be broken and half-hopes to be squandered.
A half-man to half-die and to half-rest.
And it does not take much effort
To lead this half-life,
For when you do it half-heartedly,
You are doing it half right.
In our reduced states, we are truly half-free.
With less to focus on, we can finally half-see.
But to be truly half free, one must concede
To lock away the things they’d rather not see.
For things are always right,
When they’re put in half-sight,
And if you say that’s ignorant,
You’re probably half-right.
But in the end, one must remember
Above one and above all,
That being half-nothing is better
Than being nothing at all.
