you like all of us will surely tumble and fall that’s the easy part now here’s the difficult choice lie there in self-pity or pick yourself up off the ground
returning questions the ones so hard to suppress waking one from sleep queries you’ve had from childhood the ones with pretend answers that answer nothing at all
we all have self doubts questioning our value in life and to others questions we can never truly answer for our merit is in the eyes of others who rarely feel a need to express what’s obvious to them and they are certain we see what they see
grows colder each day whether it’s summer or fall for death moves closer so we ask more life questions seeking to add some meaning to rituals we’ve followed
so you’ve compromised
decided that they were right
your faults now quite clear
no need to discuss a thing
since you’ve given up all hope
so congratulations
you’ve now joined the rank and file
your fate’s in their hands
you may take your assigned seat
and patiently await death
hovering like a hummingbird thirsting for nectar you press near to those you deem famous taking endless selfies with them what i wonder is what’s missing in your life what do you believe can be healed by touching the hem of their existence
