Better. Better is a term. A word. A concept.
It could mean something more, I suppose,
but in reality,
                                                                                 everything is what it is
                                                                                 we just want to make it out to be more
Everything is nothing - and we don't wrap our heads around this idea
We can't believe this because:
                                                   If we tell ourselves that everything (even the things that mean the world)
                                                                                                         are nothing

Then we are nothing also
And we cannot bare to be nothing.

If I am nothing than I have no purpose, no reason, no substance.
                                                                                                      If I am everything there will be nothing else
                                                                             Which is worse?
To be a grain of sand
or to be the ocean that smothers every other grain?

Lose lose situations are my specialty...........................................Ah! But, what if you are something.
Just something. That is the thing to be. Smack in the middle
between a ghost and a giant,
life and death

That is where I want to be.
Where I want to spend my days,
and that,
that is improvement.
