Do you feel our pain?
Do you feel the hopelessness that we do,
Crushing in around us every day?
Do you stop and wonder what it’s like to live a life in a dying world?
Do you feel the pain?
It doesn’t hurt for us, not anymore.
It’s not pain, it’s just life.
It’s all we know.
We’ve known from the start, and we somehow find the strength to get up.
We get up.
Every.
Day.
We are forced to fight.
We see the faults in this world.
We love this terrible, wonderful place.
We were born here.
We will die here?
In the end, do we die?
Do you feel the hopelessness that we do,
Crushing in around us every day?
Do you stop and wonder what it’s like to live a life in a dying world?
Do you feel the pain?
It doesn’t hurt for us, not anymore.
It’s not pain, it’s just life.
It’s all we know.
We’ve known from the start, and we somehow find the strength to get up.
We get up.
Every.
Day.
We are forced to fight.
We see the faults in this world.
We love this terrible, wonderful place.
We were born here.
We will die here?
In the end, do we die?
Possibly the most dramatic thing I’ve ever written. I wrote it right before going to bed because I had this sudden inspiration. It’s mostly about how climate change is ruining the planet and we could eventually die of it. Wow, I’m so dramatic sometimes.
