All or Nothing

Imagine yourself in a vacuum.

Hearing nothing, feeling nothing.

What would you miss the most?

What if you had to choose

Between feeling everything

Or nothing.

Which would it be?

Is never feeling pain

Heartache

Disappointment

Sorrow

Worth the the sacrifice of

Never feeling love?

Everything a blur

Never in focus.

Are we sleepwalking

Our way through life?

Looking without seeing

Touching without feeling

Listening without hearing

Where are we going in such a rush

To make it worth the sacrifice of

Our senses?

Is it really the destination that matters

Not the journey?

I want souvenirs
Not just ticket stubs.

We must remember to breathe

Not just inhale.
