The Human Condition

Dear Mankind,

Where am I?

I found myself in a bed that wasn't mine this morning, listening to news of heartbreak projected over the media.

Sincerely,

The Damned

Human

I love the way you cry.

Autumn_is_here

Fallen

My head aches--no,

It's more that I'm lightheaded,

Tired.

I watched him again today

From out my little window:

He would not have cared

If I had called out to him.

He would have kept walking.

I'm overwhelmed--no,

I'm more bored than anything.

My expectations are too high,

I guess.

He isn't the sweet kid I'd hoped for.

There are too many people around,

Closing in on my little life--no,

I've never been more alone.
