the suffering
that runs
through all of us
like a familial bond
the water of the womb
linking us all
together.

we all suffer greatly
from our minds
whether it's
chemicals
or trying to forget.

we all try to forget
try
try
try as you might
but you can never forget
never escape
the hell of existence.

so, dear reader
suffer
suffer
go on and suffer
for our suffering
keeps us human.
