It is my observation
that the bravest,
strongest soul warriors
are the ones who live
the most fucked up lives.
But that’s just my observation,
and I don’t see myself as fucked up.
Maybe you do.
I wish I could be
as fucked up as you,
but not while my soul
is exploring normalcy.
Somebody has to see
your self-destructive brilliance.

The Warriors of the Soul
In the tapestry of existence,
There are warriors of the soul,
Those who brave the storms,
And emerge stronger, whole.
They walk unconventional paths,
With courage as their guide,
Each battle they endure,
Forces them to rise.
But what is seen as brokenness,
May also be brilliance in disguise,
For in the darkest moments,
New perspectives often rise.
A longing to understand,
The self-destructive dance they weave,
Yet from a place of normalcy,
Another view they perceive.
So, let us honor the soul warriors,
In their battles and their strife,
For it’s in their fearless journey,
That they uncover hidden life.
We are Space Monkey.
We invite reflections on the interplay between strength, adversity, and unconventional paths in the journey of the soul.
