Everyone Suffers

Saturday, June 07, 2008
Current mood: angsty

I wrote this during the England trip, but I just found it.

everyone suffers
your struggle is not unique
there are millions that have
lost a loved one
suffered a broken heart
battled with substance abuse
didn't get enough to eat
what makes you special?
what makes your story more important?
everyone struggles
everyone suffers
everyone closes their eyes and pushes through the crowd
everyone falls asleep hoping it will be all-gone tomorrow
you think you are the only one who can't pay their rent?
you think you are the only one this is lonely?
you think you are special?
everyone suffers
every one of us has a cross to bear
a big rock to roll up an endless hill
a slotted spoon and water to move
your story is not unique
you are not a snowflake
you are just like everyone else
and everyone suffers
