Eternal Pain

32

What is life

I come out of the void a child

The world seems sweet and mild

Yet when I was born I cried

And then one grows, people change

Parents change, friends change

The world seems more complicated

And harsher, and demanding

So much so, that in adulthood one seeks that simplicity again

And builds whole convoluted philosophies around it

But the fact is, to truly feel like a child

One needs to be treated like one, taken care of in the same way

Which ain't gonna happen, so a dead zombie adult you'll stay

And according to what our society and our civilization says

This is the way.
