26 Letters

26 letters make words

And words make sentences

And sentences make phrases

And phrases make paragraphs

And paragraphs make stories

And if you're lucky,

Stories turn into songs.

 

Songs state emotions

Emotions cause feelings

But feelings cause emotions

It's an endless repeating pattern of thoughts.

Thoughts make us human

But so does the brain

The heart

Pumping the life to our veins.

But why do we live

Why do we thrive

Why do we wonder about the time that goes by

Time is aging

Aging is growing

But growing means we eventually all die.

Why do we die

But why do we live

Why can't we control the pain that we give

To ourselves

To our lives

It all makes us cry

Why do we cry

Why do we tear

Why do we force ourselves to listen to things we don't want to hear

Why go through torture

Why go through sorrow

When death could easily be the best thing about tomorrow.
