Another Earth

You have that one moment in your life that changes everything, don't you?

Everyone does. When it is that one moment that you wish you could change though, the one moment that forever altered your course of living...

if given the opportunity to alter that path

would you?

How can one know if the other direction is better, less painful, more joyous

any different than the life you currently lead?

Existential questions and more from Another Earth.

They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul.
these eyes of mine don't see it that way, I see
death coming towards me, and if I do not stop you
take you down, destroy you
You will destroy me, my eyes, my soul.

I want to belong to a society that welcomes me in,
but asks no questions as to why I am wanting,
needing,
searching for companionship, a lone light caressing the waves
in the empty sea.

The sharks surface, biting at my heels, wanting blood
turning everything red, bloody
dead.

Everything must return to the ground eventually.
