Ahh, yes.
The most philosophical inquiry of our times
Why
Am
I
Like
This
?
We used to ponder about the stars
Now I wonder why I feel so sad every time I watch them twinkle in the vast loneliness that is the reflection in my eyes
.
We used to question gods and create epics and fables to better understand the world around us
Now I want to never see this planet again
I'm tired of fantastical stories, unrealistic expectations and faith based interpretations of my broken reality
If there is a god, it owes us all an apology
.
We would strive
A pursuit of knowledge, the ultimate form of nirvana
Now I wish I didn't think at all and could be a mindless, happy follower
But I know too much
And somehow still manage to be a fool
.
Why am I like this?
