I want something awful to happen to me. I do! I do I do I do! I don't. I don't. Do I? What do I want? Why do I want? Why does the desire for anything other than eating sleeping and reproducing plague my mind? I want to understand pain I want to understand suffering. I want to understand humanity And what it means to be human. Am I human? Are the moral values I possess enough to keep me afloat in the sea of thought? No. They aren't. To be flushed out is my fate, To be forgotten with time. I want to be remembered. I am afraid. So Very afraid Of being alone. Will this matter when I die? Will this become a piece of literature for future generations to dissect? Surely not. Ah, How lovely that would be. Is this a poem? What is a poem? This is simply words On a page. Is it writing? What is writing, anyways? Does this matter? Will I get an answer? Won't you answer me? One day I hope to hear it.
