CRUMBLING WALLS

 It’s like the world is on a secret

That everybody else knows

About how to keep hope

When life weary grows

I’ve been taking too many pointless chances lately

Started wars that achieve nothing

Except to leave me hurting

Why do I have to break so much,

To allow myself to start living?









EXISTENTIAL DREAD

If I was dying, terminal disease, destiny or something of the sort

It would be easier to get what I want, right?

My parents would probably never say no to me

Strangers would be overly nice to me out of pity

I’d probably be more driven to chase after what I want

Is this what they mean

When they say live everyday like it’s your last?
