Elucidating Questions

It’s so hard to think about how we’re living in different worlds in the same world

The world is kinder to them than it’s ever been to me yet they write such sad music

Well, he does, they play it

And if the end is a tragedy

But up until then all his needs were met

It’s not really a tragedy it’s just a sad ending

It’s like they don’t see the contents

I wonder how many people see unhoused people and think

Woe is me

Instead of realising the depth of what they’re seeing

That they’re seeing a tiny snippet of the hell that person is going through

I don’t think that people who have good lives and still have depression are bad people

But I do wish people were more mindful of what they have

They’re constantly telling me to look around and find the joy in my life

If my life as a person on disability is filled with joy then so is everyone else’s

And I don’t want to hear them complaining about rising poverty lines or inflation

If I see them complaining I’ll tell them to see the joy in life

And to just work harder

No matter how you look at it it’s unbalanced

The life I’m leading versus the life they are

Everyone should just accept that we’re going down and no one is swinging

And them?

They’ll be just fine

In their castles
