Elucidating Questions

I need to know why we created a world where people with light in their hearts feel the need to exit

I need to know for what purpose we turned this world into such a cruel place that the good guys try to log out, permanently

I know not everyone who is depressed or commits suicide is a good guy

But I’ve heard the story too many times

Light of the world

Snuffs themselves out

And I care

When the lights go out

Each star a world disappearing

A perspective lost

I have to be here because there’s only me

But the others,

The actual lights

They don’t have some thing telling them to just hold on

Or, if they do, they can’t hear it

Maybe they don’t fear the unknown of death as much as I do

All I can do is tuck them in my taped up heart and remember that they were special

They were someone’s once in a life time person

And keep waiting for the world that failed them

To realise that it did so
