| My working more than 14 hours a day might not seem like a lot, but it was.
I went from having more friends than I have fingers to having none. My life was abandoned for my work. Now I'm emerging from my mine shaft, but all my friends are gone. What am I doing here? My stopping and slowing down might not seem like much, but it is. For the cloud that I emerge into, is empty. And the prison that I leave, has noone waiting for me at the gates, after over 10 years. |
| I sit and shiver in the darkness.
What if I had no intelligence tomorrow? What would become of me? Would I have no more friends? Would I have no more career? Would I have no more income? The same thing that brings those to loathe me is the same thing that brings my life to what it is. Would I still be known if I did not have my intelligence? Would I not be nothing? Am I not like a basketball star that would not have anything if I injured my knee? I shiver in the darkness. I do not want to lose all of my friends. But how far am I from losing my sanity? My talking about having no more "rush" and slowing down again might not seem like a lot, but it is. My working more than 14 hours a day might not seem like a lot, but it was. I went from having more friends than I have fingers to having none. My life was abandoned for my work. Now I'm emerging from my mine shaft, but all my friends are gone. What am I doing here? My stopping and slowing down might not seem like much, but it is. For the cloud that I emerge into, is empty. And the prison that I leave, has noone waiting for me at the gates, after over 10 years. |
