It's dangerous to contemplate all that awaits you
Especially in your current state.
The waves and ripples of your present self
Amplify and distort
Into tidal waves that lord over you,
Like a ghost arrived too soon to empathize...
Too soon to even try.
And all you achieve is misery,
And yet here you are;
Contemplating a tangible hopelessness you could almost choke on,
If you only had lungs to fill.
