Because life can get too much.
We seek out distraction
To mute the sickening sense of dread
Of feeling our hopes and dreams
Slip between our fingers
Vanish before our very eyes
And threaten to descend with us
Into a pit of quiet desperation.
So we hide behind screens,
Alcohol and half hearted relationships,
Looking for something-
Anything
To stop us from dwelling
On our lot in this life for too long
Because life can get too much.
Lucky for us there’s always a distraction close by
To take away the sting.
