Conversation with Death #2

Me:
All hail Death!
Bringer of despair,
Destroyer of worlds,
Depressor of emotions!

Death:
What are you doing?
Me:
Cursing you!
You, sir, are a very bad being!
Death:
Am I now?
Me:
You took away Love from me!
Death:

Me:
You find pleasure
In the misery of others!
Death:
Really now?
Me:
Without a doubt!
Your cruelty is without limit!
Death:
So much for believing
“Certainty is the fallacy of man.”
Me:

Death:
You only need to step in my shoes,
To fully understand my nature.
All the screams I’ve heard,
All the curses hurled at me,
All the tears that fall,
All because of me.
But who am I to question it?
Without me, there would be no life.
Paradox is the essence of existence.
One cannot exist
Without its polar opposite.

See you at the bottom of the bottle, When you lose yourself to emptiness and neglect, Go ahead and cry your heart out, puke out your guts, Do what you need to deal with the pain of loneliness, Sanity demands that you keep your dreams alive. See you at the hut on the top of the hill, Where the ground actually meet the clouds, The closest we can be to the castles in the sky, Engineered by the dreams of the children of tomorrow, Before it starts to shatter by the de...

The Reality of Freelancing

A freedom everyone longs for yet clueless about People think freelancers have it all: the abundance of free time, an active social life and a steady income to go with it. What a cool lifestyle to live by… almost like the perceptions placed on rock stars in the music industry – carefree, liberating and elusive. Sadly, just like the shaky, unpredictable and tempestuous life of a rock star, that is merely the surface of a freelancer’s reality. Simply put, a misconception of a perception in itself.
