A life full of Risk and Reward

(Eetu Ekholm)

No bets made, no chips won. What is the cost of losing, what is the price for winning. And most importantly, who is the one deciding who wins and who loses?

Hold me no
where is this going 
I don' know
Look

*
Everything is fine like last time
everything falls in place
So save yourself
the life that you wanted

Just like last time 
I'm down in demand
I can't 
understand

Oh wait it's all different
now suddenly I feel like I have been gifted
A life full of risk and reward situations
I feel institutionalized in my own head
*

What the fuck is the difference
between love and hate
They both give
they take

Just for a second please think
For fuck sakes
It will all
turn to dust

I must not let that happen
From where I'm standing
It's all or nothing
Understand me

*
Everything is fine like last time
everything falls in place
So save yourself
the life that you wanted

Just like last time 
I'm down in demand
I can't 
understand

Oh wait it's all different
now suddenly I feel like I have been gifted
A life full of risk and reward situations
I feel institutionalized in my own head
*

Dead men talking walking 
hiding the marks
preaching about lady luck
dealers and cards

Some people got it really hard
no warning
Life assaulted you with a ski mask
on

Happily ever after 
without any laughter
This ain't supposed to be
hell right

Sometimes
I cannot fight
dear
It's alright

Were near
So fucking near
No fear
Boss

Fuck every victory
fuck every loss
The life that you'll get
had a cost

*
Everything is fine like last time
everything falls in place
So save yourself
the life that you wanted

Just like last time 
I'm down in demand
I can't 
understand

Oh wait it's all different
now suddenly I feel like I have been gifted
A life full of risk and reward situations
I feel institutionalized in my own head
*

No dreams, no hopes. Only a road towards a tipsy evening.

A free therapist

By Eetu Ekholm

When people confide in you, you see and hear all sorts of things. Some good some bad. You can try to help, but if the people themselves aren't willing to accept your help and change, you are just left with a person using you to cope. A free therapist with no boundaries. They suck the life out of you, with the cost of your kindness.

Problems at home

By Eetu Ekholm

When you are in the middle of a toxic relationship things seem hazy. Once you're out, the picture will become clear. Only then can you let it finally vanish.

Sad joke

By Eetu Ekholm

Breaking up feels comical sometimes. The things we feel and think seem absurd later on once we have fully let go.

Peacefully

By Javani Vito

I wrote this text for all the children and loved ones. Sometimes it´s a challenge to deal with all the duties, especially when we experience loss or other disappointments. Everyone needs somebody to lean on, mostly our children. They need all the support they can possibly get to grow, learn, discover their strengths and weaknesses. Ending the day should always have something magical to reflect, feel through all that made us smile and hurt us that day full of work, challenges and meetings. Fear needs to be talked about, worries need to be duscussed and every tiniest bit of happy moments need to be remembered and soaked in, so we can find our peace during the night and gain back some energy for the following day. And to feel loved by at least one person.

Mein Wille

By Sven Lenhardt

"Mein Wille" versucht sich in die Perspektive eines Amokläufers hineinzuversetzen und die Verzweiflung, Resignation, Hoffnungslosigkeit und Endzeitstimmung einzufangen, die in den Hirnwindungen eines solchen Menschen wütet, ohne sein/ihr Handeln zu verteidigen oder zu rechtfertigen.
