The worst thing is when you realize that you are where you
wanted to be
but then realize that it is not where you see yourself at all.
Many years, many struggles, much pain gone by to reach this destination
when the destination is not truly you.
The journey has created you, has maintained your vigilance in the face of
apathetic lust of power -
Sure, you have a good amount of time left on this earth
relative to your lifespan;
though in the spectrum of human existence, you’re fucked.
But, honestly, we’re all down that same path
where one day leads to next;
one death leads to a birth, one life leads to a death,
the cycle will continue on even when you are not here.
Take comfort in that, for that is a peaceful truth,
one that can take all y our pent up frustrations, fears, and guilt
and acquiesce it to the brevity of each one’s existence
rendering it meaningless in the scheme of things.
One day we’ll all meet our maker,
but if you can read this,
just not yet.
