Sorrow, the insidious predator,
Gradually gobbles down,
Lips, tongue, teeth all down
From head to toe,
Parallel to my thoughts,
Before I can even react.
Realization comes too late,
Depression sets in,
Ignoring everything that mattered,
It kept me alive.
Windows become a stranger,
The furniture turns cold,
Voices fade into silence.
Forced happiness fails,
It leaves me empty again.
But I shouldn't care for myself,
It's selfish and wrong.
Millions suffer in need,
Without water or life,
Killed, raped, and abused.
Yet here I am,
Lost in trivial sadness.
