Sometimes

The world is simultaneously a beautiful and horrifying place
People live and people die
And sometimes people simply exist
Sometimes souls are lost while bodies are still being found

Sometimes you think about the world
And you don’t want to be here
Amongst the war and violence
Amongst the sea of sadness

You feel empty and numb
Because of the darkness in the world
You want to make it better
But it seems impossible

Sometimes there is pain
And sometimes there is fear
Sometimes there is despair and loneliness
Or numbness and anxiety

Sometimes, there’s a glimmer of hope
But it’s always too good to last
Soon enough the past comes back to eat us alive
Leaving nothing but skin and bones
