On The Brink of Life

Can I have another go?
The first ball is trial, right?
I'm smaller than you too.
Oh come on it was too fast.
Crying without Reason
These arguments don't work with time apparently
You lose, no matter what
But one day if I figure out a way to defeat time in the apex court
And the judgment is in my favor
I'd like another go at it
I'd like to live my life again from the very beginning
I'll do things correctly this time
I'll do things as they're supposed to be
In short, I'll live my life exactly as before
Do you know about the butterfly effect?
Even the slightest actions can bring about changes that no one can imagine
The flaps of a butterfly's wings can result in a tornado
I don't want to change how I turned out to be
Or maybe I do but I don't think I can get any better than this
This is the best version which is constantly upgrading
I don't care how many people call me boring
Or self-obsessed, or non-classy, or narcissistic, or just plain stupid
I like myself. I have my ideologies, my own thoughts.
I don't plagiarize, or maybe I do.
As Gauguin once said, art is either revolution or plagiarism.
But either way, I am my own self
I selectively plagiarize nature until I get what I want
Solace, inner peace, and most of all an anonymous yet known death
I don't want the death of Edison but rather that of Van Gogh
And I am quite a bit possessive about my death
I don't want to share it
That's why I don't want to change my life
Imagine being socially normal, being friends with lots of people
Having a girlfriend or a boyfriend
Having actual relationships
You get a life full of love and support but so is the death
Why don't people leave you alone in death?
Let you die in solace?
I don't want to change my life even one bit
I want to relive every major tragedy I faced as a 7-year-old
Whether it was transferring cities and leaving friends behind
Or getting thrashed for not submitting the notebook on time
Let it all happen, beauty and terror
No feeling is final
I want to stay as close to my lifestyle as possible
I remember shying away from the female gender during "Kanchak"
Oh what a feeling it was
Why can't I live that again?
I ask time to lend me some spare minutes at least
Being a reasonable argument it agrees
Just before death, I get to relive all of that
But how do I know if I'm not living that right now?
Is death a recursion?
Are we in an infinite loop of death?
At the brink of death, we relive our lives thus giving birth to a new life
It's a possible theory
I like it
That allows me to be a higher dimensional being
Maybe even God
Or better than God in some ways?
I relieve and choose to control my life rather than letting one control it for me
I like this
I won against time and I'm better than God
What better way to die?
