I sat here,
Listening,
To the heartbeat of the world,
dying.
I sat here,
thinking,
of all the ways,
to stop living.
I sat here,
smiling,
at all the things,
that i could fix with hope.
I sat here,
crying,
about all the things,
that still remain broken.
I sat here,
with a friend,
who seemed happy,
I could tell.
I sat here,
with total strangers,
I felt their pain,
They looked like hell.
I sat here,
watching the news,
Murder, chaos, and hysteria,
Nothing else is new.
I sat here,
dreaming that the world was fair,
A foolish dream, i know,
But dreamers often despair.
I sat here,
thinking about the people i love,
And feeling more alone,
Because i think i'm not enough
I sat here,
thinking about my future kids,
And tears well up,
when i tell them the world is rough.
I sat here,
thinking about when the world will end,
if it's during my time,
will i go to hell or heaven then?
I sat here,
thinking of when i die,
will people remember me,
as a good person when i was alive?
We are all humans,
sitting in our chairs,
measuring our choices,
and fighting our fears.
So as i sat here,
confronted by my morality,
I came to a decision,
It might end up a tragedy.
I chose to live life to the fullest,
Despite my mortality,
We fight a losing battle to the bitter end,
The bittersweet curse of humanity.
I wrote this to deal with my thoughts. To clear my head about who we are as humans, regardless of colour, ethnicity, sexual orientation, creed, religion, whatever. We are human, yet we fight and squabble and hurt each other. But we all die. We all have a curtain call. So why not make the most of the stage before the credits roll? Leave a comment on what you think about this. I would love to hear opinions from all backgrounds.
