Life Will Fuck You
Life will fuck you in more ways than one
Life will fuck you and break your heart
And bring you to your knees
In a pool of sorrow
Asking why
Why me
Why now
How did I get here
It will leave you answer-less
It will leave you in silence
It will leave you alone just long enough to bask in a space that is beyond words
Beyond reason
Beyond logic
Life will give you questions that can’t be answered
Situations that can’t be explained
It will cause you to be faithless
It will lead you to ask questions
The big questions
What is this?
Why?
For what grander purpose?
And that is when it will happen
That is when through the pain and the sorrow and the heartache
You will be left with nothing
Nothing except truth
The truth of what life means
To you
The truth of what matters
To you
Because that’s the thing
There isn’t one answer
One sole purpose
One reason for being here
It’s rarely walking through the park
On a sunny day
Looking at flowers
We find meaning
It’s when life fucks us
It’s when all else falls away and we are left alone
We can’t think our way to it or through it
It is only sensed
Experienced
Felt
Life will fuck you
In more ways than one
It will bring you to your knees
You will question everything
As painful as it can be
There’s good medicine embedded within it
Those moments will be the catalyst to finding your values
And anchoring in
Welcoming the most honest
Raw
And real part of yourself home.
