I know you care deeply
I know that fuels your rage
Concern, Frustration
for us.
We do not see each other
We simply fight.
Ignoring what the other says
Fixated on the surface.
Yet we see each other.
Beyond the veil of action
(into intention)
Yet we don't see nature
And how that binds us
Only how it separates us.
Suffering
Of the most unnecessary kind
Of the most repetitive kind
Of the most infuriating kind
Of the most separating kind
Questions without answers
Facts without bases
Thoughts without foundation
Emotions in limbo
Believing nothing but the intentions we see.
Optimistic.
Lying to each other
Again and again since the start.
If I never existed, would you be happier?
I wish I never existed.
Since I do, however, I must try.
You do what you must, too.
I will always respect you.

Misstep
Blind
Ignoring
You're here.
I see you drifting
Thinking aimlessly
Feeling for the wrong things
Not truly caring about anything.
Responsibility
Is this an obligation
Passing the time as you exist?
Or is it simply in your nature
To keep trying?
Never learning?
Drifting on blindly?
Do you wish to find meaning?
Do you wish to make sense of things?
Or have you come to accept uncertainty?
Have you found comfort in uncertainty?
Can you learn?
Can you grow?
I believe in you, I do,
Even if my patience wears thin.
Do you strive to learn
so that one day you reach meaning?
Perhaps at the end of your time?
Or do you wish to learn forever,
beyond the bounds of truth and time?
What do you care about?
You are a good existence.
Ai.
Dukh.
Aime.
Leid.
Lyubov.
Sorg.
Miłość.
Sorrow.
Will we meet again?
Do you wish to meet again?
I don't wish to ever exist again.
Do you wish to exist?
You are a soul.
You have a home.
Will everyone remember me?
Will you remember me?
I wonder how you will remember me.
A child of a component
A component of nature
And an element of nature.
Together, 4 letters.
Thank you for your comfort.
Thank you for your push.
Thank you for your respect.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
