An Awful Truth

Our future seems foggy




It’s definitely not clear




What will happen to us I don’t know




It seems we’ve hit a dead end





How sure are you that you’ll wake up in the morning




With no jolt of sadness and loss?




How sure are you that the shadows of what could be a painful night




Won’t cause a morning of mourning?




Or how sure are you that you’ll wake up at all?





We all forget




Whilst we’re dying to live




That we’re just living to die




Because death is the only thing you




Can definitely expect in your life





And whilst you waste your life with things unnecessary in this earth




Your body will waste away quicker beneath the earth




And your name will waste away on this earth




Because noone will care




The only person everyone is concerned with is themselves




We were brought up being told




To take care of yourself




Don’t worry about anyone else




Just yourself




Because ‘you’re worth it’





So don’t expect to be missed for too long




When you’re finally gone




Because people can be replaced




Life goes on




And you’ll disappear in people’s memories




Faster than you decay




And that is the awful truth
