[silyaclonus]

you wake up in a world that hates you

murder, arson, disaster, suffering

headlines beg, "how could you do this to us?"

when all you did last night was sleep

you wake up in a world that hates you

discussing how you are pathetic and undeserving

yesterday you were omnipotent, today you are feeble and meek

the coffee is still brewing

you wake up in a world that hates you

flowers bloomed while you were up all night

comforting a friend who asked if it might be easier to die

than to see the rest of this year through

you wake up in a world that hates you

today is game day

shared laughter pierces you and expunges the rot

with joy that feels fragile and fleeting

you wake up in a world that hates you

the sun is bright and the air is sweet

you decide it would be a good day for stir fry

and you make a little extra for your neighbor

you wake up in a world that hates you

where everything may soon come crashing down

but today the weather is nice

and your aching heart still beats

you wake up in a world that hates you

there is somewhere that could use your help

there is someone who could use your comfort

there is something good you can do yet

you wake up in a world that hates you

and you decide to find out how much you can do

and how far you can go

knowing that you are not alone.
