"I guess it always hurts to try"


Poem Artwork

Chances Are

The existential emptiness
That feeling of being alone
Gnaws us down to despair unless
What lies beyond remains unknown

I don't know and I never will
Until it comes and passes by
What lies beyond my window sill
Or on the dark side of the hill

I feel like I'm so unprepared
I'm sad I'm worried and I'm scared
But I guess I'll just muddle through
And do my best for now then die

I hope it all works out for you
The way you want but chances are
We might get close but no cigar
I guess it always hurts to try

But it gives us something to do

I guess it always hurts to try!
It hurts even more if you simply give up.
Everyone fights these feelings. This write is for those who have no hope. I pray that's not really you, my friend,
God Bless,
Lew
