Lost in Purgatory

I was shot in the bathroom today.

I've gone away

And the clocks didn't stop ticking.

My mom cried and a part of her died,

She lost her little girl

But the sky did not go missing.

I was lost in Purgatory,

And the trees kept on whistling.

 

A boy drowned in a pool today.

He’s gone away

His dad spent many nights in a different state,

A false reality, a refusal of acceptance.

He lost his only son,

But the world continued to rotate.

He was lost in Purgatory,

And new life they would still create.

 

A baby was refused birth today.

It’s gone away

Mommy and daddy won’t hear the crying,

They've been devastated, permanently scarred.

They lost their unborn baby,

But everyone did not stop trying.

Baby was lost in Purgatory

And we all just keep on dying.

The consciousness of the universe (assuming there is one) remains what it is, and always will be, as people die, stars explode, and galaxies collide and all heck ensues. The only darn thing we can do is say: "I was here. I had these thoughts today." What else is there?

There are some really great lines in this one. I like how your mind thinks. Keep writing!

Thank you so much, same to you. I just feel so powerless at times. Like we're all so small in the mess of things
