Question of a Mortal (from the Perspective of a Searching Man)

Good is never good enough; better is never best.

I could sleep the whole day through and never get a rest.

What haunts me is the fear, the guilt, from messing up last time.

What drives me is what lies ahead- to win this mile to shake this hand, to be one of the best.

I walked down the medical aisle late last night: the products read "happiness", "peace", "panacea"...

I picked up the bottle to fix loneliness, the one I take every other day.

I still have that mad craving inside to be someone or have someone or really just know someone.

And it doesn't go away every other day.

Good is a term they twist with theology and psycology to mean whatever they want.

They have played this game so long that I always loose.

They make their own truths...

What is truth?

So I ask yet again:

In the end, do we all die like mortals?
