i can hear them at night and i can see them in the morning when the sun struggles to the sky and it’s rays flicker and dip lower than i’ve ever seen them everything is so tired they’re crying and they’re hungry and cold and lost they are so lost and they’re everywhere burning out there is so much regret and i think i am the last person who still remembers how it felt to love the smell of the ocean and the feel of a book coming to life in your hands this is so wrong right now, this moment, is the only real thing anymore i think but i wish it wasn’t because these people are living off their last hope for humanity and humanity is taking its last breath and this cannot be real and this pain this pain this pain cannot exist but it is and it does i think.
