Improvement

i was born at the end of the world

a new beginning in old lands

but the paper i held was fresher than i

smooth words flow through a broken system

a reminder to myself

that some things do improve

and as i thought, it was true

the world was much lighter after me

all i had to do was diminish

into a void where the useless linger

and it dawned on me

that this black emptiness

suited me much better than a world of overflowing light
