Heaven paved with my pains

 
... this shitty life is nothing  
but a waiting room  
of a hellish asylum  
overflowing with paperwork  
and suffocated in its own  
degenerate bureaucracy
 
this shitty life is nothing  
but a scare in a dead-end alley  
from the darkest part of a place  
where no one wants to go
 
life, life, life  
knife, knife, knife
 
the sound of traveling knife sharpeners  
is like the creaking of hinges  
of a nonexistent paradise  
where an arrogant and irrational being rules...

Author's Note
Life's challenges often feel overwhelming, but they also shape our resilience and strength.

This poignant piece came to me few minutes ago, it's raw and vividly captures the suffocating despair of a life trapped in bureaucratic chaos, resonating with raw emotion and existential frustration. The imagery of knife sharpeners and creaking hinges further emphasizes the harsh reality of a world devoid of hope and ruled by irrationality.
