This world is tragic
because people murder
other people for no reason
sickly people
die with a drop of a pin
and healthy people
die
just as easily.

Something
that would always keep
me laughing even years later
is someone who decides
to mimic
another person
on the way
that they act.

Love is when
two people
love and care about
the othe other person more
than they could ever
love or care about
themselves
no matter their condition.

People die with a drop of a pin
without even a hint
some people mimic the way
other people act immaturely
but love is what holds us together
makes us strong
and betters our condition
our tragedy
our laughter
our love
this is our world
this is us.
