people

playing

at

life

with

distaste

for

effort

when

everything

is

too

much

what

will

become

of

those

who

are

already

half

gone

without

a

spark

i

fear

for

you

i 

love

you

i think to myself

i wish for meaning

and a great sadness

so soulful it speaks of suffering

because i reason

how can one know happiness 

if they have not first known pain
