Weltbewältigung | poetry | figurative art

you were in such a hurry

you walked fast enough

looking for a way to go

done being alive as you rushed

towards taking yourself down

and I’m haunted what did your face look like

the world you lived in feels familiar to me

there’s no coming back now

you denied yourself space

what were you brought up to do

when did you take a look at your body

and think this will be its end

for me

what were you brought up to be

was there too much room for all the things

you never wanted to come close to

did you close your eyes when you shunned

the world in return

when the sun felt so fucking horrific
