I wished this bad day would end,
sat for hours in despair.
I felt so lonely —
but you were right over there.
We sit with our egos,
burdened by our pride.
Why can’t we end this —
these feelings we hold inside?
As I sit here dissociating,
in my own soothing bubble,
a banana fly lands on my leg —
it’s coming to cause trouble.
But maybe that wasn’t
the banana fly’s intent;
not here to pester or bite,
just sharing this moment.
Lying on my couch,
I started to feel nice,
knowing the banana fly was there —
a tiny friend in disguise.
The banana fly didn’t judge;
all it did was get my attention.
I forgot what was troubling me —
a pause on irrational reflection.
I found comfort from a banana fly
when I was in despair.
So when you are sad,
and feeling so down,
just know there’s a banana fly
roaming around.
…Though now I might have to **** this **** fly —
it’s fallen in love with my leg hairs.

He sits in silence, pondering where he belongs, who he truly is. Why can’t he exist everywhere and nowhere at once? Why is he here?
He inhales deeply, exhaling the pain he carries within — a pain that both burdens and strengthens him. The same thoughts loop endlessly, over and over again.
Why can’t he be normal like everyone else? Why can’t he wake up, brush his teeth, make his bed, check the news, step outside to watch the cars go by, grab his coffee, go to work, come home, and repeat the cycle? Deep down, he knows that life isn’t his to live.
It doesn’t seem fair. Why wasn’t he born from another universe, sent to Earth to spread kindness and tranquility — to wave a wand and watch flowers bloom, trees flourish, and hearts heal through song and shared love? Why can’t he simply be?
“Why?” — such a small word, yet capable of unraveling everything. It opens a chain reaction of doubt and illusion, of feeling destined for something greater, even when his true purpose may be simple: to feel, to love, to help. He longs for change — as do I, as do we all.
He lives in a world where eyes see but rarely look, where people exist only for what’s in front of them. He lingers in spaces that aren’t meant for him, perhaps waiting to discover a longing he’s never known. Why does it feel comforting to be somewhere that doesn’t belong to you?
He can do so many things, and yet none of them seem enough without collective harmony. He craves love, needs love, is love. We all are. Why, then, is it so difficult? Why is it so easy to live in a world built on sin?
He takes a deep breath and gazes into the water. Gently placing his fingertips on its surface, he blesses it — his creator, his nourisher. Without water, he is nothing; without him, the water is nothing. We drink without gratitude, but he gives thanks, watching the water heal his pain and renew his strength. He’ll continue this ritual, over and over, as the endless cycle repeats.
He doesn’t know why he was placed in this world, but he’s grateful for what he has. It’s strangely comforting to surrender and play along.
Why do we play along? Why do we suffer, chasing fleeting joy? Why crave the sweet sting of instant pleasure instead of enduring for deeper peace? The unknown frightens him. He wants to be heard, to be understood — yet how can we understand another when we’re still trying to understand ourselves?
We’re told to choose a path and follow it, but what if that path is infinite — a loop of illusion? Why must he have everything figured out so quickly? He isn’t happy. He sips his caramel frappuccino and feels a brief spark of joy — then it fades. Still, he’d rather feel that moment again and again, even as the endless cycle repeats.
Why?
