how much does 21 grams weigh in your life?

they say we all lose 21 grams at the exact moment of our death...everyone.

the weight of a stack of nickles.,

of a chocolate bar,

of a hummingbird.

when life is taken, how much is lost.

how much is gained?

how much does a 21 grams weigh?

how much does your soul weigh?

i think with me.. 21 grams is equivalent to a whole lotta things that will negate each other so what's left for those who will survive me is just really 21 grams??

its a whole lotta smiles but a whole lotta brattiness too, its the weight 0f a 10-year old kid hop-skipping around, but the weight of a 60-year old lola contemplating on a rocking chair, its a ton of optimism and daydreams but another ton of curiosity and disbelief.

the writer in a fild said " i think the tru essence of humanity is contradiction". i think i pretty much fit that bill, being a walking irony myself. i would say that i epitomize the essence of humanity, in fact i am still in search of what is to be human, i would just say that i think (and i've been told) that mine is a young soul....willing to take non the world for all its greatness and all its sh**tyness, eager to absorb everything it can but remembering to filter out what it can't take , ready to take each moment as if it were new.
