The Human Condition

Tears filling it up to the brim

Never stopping

Just flowing and flowing...

If it was empty

If it was nothing

If it was empty

If it isolated itself

If it just didn't exist.

Interest is gone

Ambition is lost

Love is tossed aside like a book

Drowned by a thousand tears

Looked upon by thousands of angels

Looked upon by thousands of demons

Looked upon by things that do not exist

Wishing there was something else in this asylum.

All that's here is emotional struggle

Pain

Confusion

Hatred

Love

They are all a two way street

With nothing to lose

With nothing to gain

Each way you go there is fear

The fear of pain that life holds

The fear of not knowing what to do

Or fearing what the future holds

The fear of being consumed by hellfire

Fearing the animosity towards those who love you

The fear of wanting to love

Or the fear of being in love

The fear to be loved

The fear to lose...

Fear consumes us

Fear controls us

And there is nothing we can do

Because it is the human condition to fear

And be feared...
