I see it now. This world we've had to deal with all our lives, the world our ancestors have brought down upon us, the tears we choke back every night we realize nothing is working.
This blog is for you.
This entry is for everyone who knows this world is too cruel. Too pushy. Too pressuring. Too unfair torighteously be for us.
What did we do to deserve it? Why do things have to be so unjust? Why does life suck for most of us these days? We think about this day in and day out, just hoping, praying that maybe the world will change ovrnight and suddenly we won't be in debt, our needs will be fulfilled, we won't be so sad all the time.
Yet, tomorrow comes and things are still the same.So we pray again. We hope harder. We give our lives everything we have.
But each day, we are horrendously disappointed. Our lives have spiralled to a point where even waking each day becomes hard to face. The sun could be shining bright as can be, but you just can't face the day. You're about to lose your home, your beautiful partner just left you completely alone and no one wants to be around you anymore.
So what now? There's no more hope. We find ourselves living not for ourselves, not for the betterment of humankind (since, heck, we know THAT'S not going to happen!), but hey, I know something that can ease the pain a little bit.
So we take a drink and be merry, like we've heard stories about. "Feeling like crap today? Drink and be merry!"
But now we feel sick. It's been months since the merriness of the bottle has worn off. So why am I still drinking, you ask yourself.
And then you realize the answer: you're now living to drink another day. You know you don't have enough money for your favorite bottle this ek, so you get what you can just so you can keep that lonliness and pain at a distance.
But now you wannt to kick the habit. So you do it... For three days.
And you cry when you give in because you know the happiness you have never felt will never greet you.
Because you have nothing ti be happy for.
It was all taken away a long time ago.
So all you can do now is drink and be merry.
---------------------------
For anyone that has to resist the urge to resort to drugs to supply the happiness they have never felt, I'm sorry if I've judged you harshly.
I find myself wanting an escape frequently these days. Something to get away from the pressures of life that I can't do anything to change right now.
Finances, love, respect, dignity... Our world is falling apart as we know it.
For those of you recovering, please try to find something to believe in. I know that without a strong faith, us folks who try so hard yet fail to succeed are one step closer to a life of dependence and misery.
Keep yourselves safe and remember that this world wants us to fail and hopefully, more of us can succeed.
