Death, then life



Everyone is disappointing, when you really know someone….

Stare at the window
Think about how you miss your own self
Now she's waiting and nobody cares
And when the wait is over, this will all still exist
And maybe some day there will be another waiting person
They don't care either

What was once before you, an exciting mysterious future, is now behind you: lived, understood, disappointing
Now you realize you're not special
You have struggled into existence
And now go silently out of it
This is everyone's experience
Every single one
The specifics hardly matter
Everyone is everyone
It is time for you to understand this

Every person that loved you stopped loving you
As they died or moved on
As you shed your beauty, your youth
As the world forgets you
As you begin to lose your characteristics one by one
As you learn there is no one watching you and there never was
You think about driving
Not going anyplace, not arriving from anyplace, just driving….
Counting your time

Everybody is now mostly dead
I am very tired and lonely…. 
I've disappointed everyone terribly
Die!
