Alone

Shades of grey grace the sky

I'm trapped in a repetitive, melancholy

Prison called life

Forced to go about the mundane

Tasks meant for a normal person

Life isn't living

Survival is pointless

A prison of bleak, unchanging boredom

Alone, a man and his thoughts

No friends

No relief

Depression has set in

Pretty problems fill the limited days

Until a death breaks the cycle

His life has been blessed with no love

Sleeping on the streets

Survival in body

Suicidal in mind

Wondering if there is a god

And how one could leave him abandoned

Dirty, undeserved was his survival

Living out his days with fears

A fear of after this torturous oblivion

A fear of another betrayal

Living for nothing

His unbroken nothingness of a life

Wasted was a man in a universe

A universe where he had no chance

For anything better than survival

Especially not prosperity

Sadness filled him through a death

Well deserved

In a world as vast as this

He meant nothing

He will not be missed

Gravity still functions

The sun still shines

You still breathe

But all people die eventually

But when will I

And when I do

Will I be important in the grand scheme
