We;
We are the ones who
Zone out
Care far too much and
Overthink every little thing
We are the ones who realize things most tend to ignore
The fact that
Death is inevitable and
We are all going to the same place at some point, no matter how well we do in life or how well we play the game

We;
We destroy ourselves to protect others
We wear our vulnerabilities like a warm winter sweater until each and every strand has been pulled loose

And like our sweater, we begin to unravel

We;
We exhaust ourselves before our time has come
We see everything for what it truly is
The gorgeous facade we were taught as children quickly fades away with a bitter sting
And we are left wondering how people still have hope
How their eyes still sparkle
How they look on with awe
When the bitter truth is right there
We;
We are left wondering how they ignore it
And that is the one thing that still amazes us
The only thing

We;
We are done
And we are beyond repair
