I saw this beetle crawling.
Crawling desperately through the trees of grass.
Moving side to side, up... down.
Avoiding some but mostly plowing through
all the obstacles in his path.
He has little or no concept of where he is going.
He doesn’t even know why.
He only feels the need.
And he’d die trying.
I was crawling.
Crawling desperately through the trees.
Moving side to side, up… down
Avoiding some but mostly plowing through
all the obstacles in my path.
I have little or no concept of where I’m going.
I don’t even know why.
I only feel the need.
And I’ll die trying.
I sometimes wish I had only that instinctual need
to plow through this life blindly.
To exhaust myself trying.
And then in one fleeting moment I realize I do.

many thanks, jaxe. we were made to survive. that is our instinct.
yes, so true jacob. i'll never understand such things, and never actually want to.
thank you. nice name btw. ;)
you do, that's great. you are unstoppable, at least that is how it sounds from your words. such a great comparison. i remember looking at ants crawling on the floor, carrying their food, speeding by.
great poem that vibrates of determination :)
"He has little or no concept of where he is going..."

Lorena, I'm so sorry! How I could have missed you is beyond me. i had the same thoughts, if you know what I mean... :)
Potted, haha, I think the two feelings go hand in hand. One minute feeling filled with determination, the next not being able to move. Thanks!
