Without, Just.

Do without as long as you just...

Without Meaning, Just Empty.
Without Purpose, Just Drifting.
Without Pain, Just Masochism.
Without Innocence, Just Guilt.
Without Perfection, Just Broken.
Without Rest, Just Keep Going.
Without Emotion, Just Rational.
Without Fragility, Just Monstrous.
Without Passion, Just Flatlining.
Without Tolerance, Just Prejudice.
Without Compassion, Just Hatred.
Without Patience, Just Reaction.
Without Remorse, Just Immoral.
Without Empathy, Just Unfeeling.
Without Caring, Just Callous.
Without Serenity, Just Chaos.
Without A Soul, Just A Shell.
Without Life, Just A Ghost.
Without Deliverance, Just Forsaken.
Without Divinity, Just Human.
Without Without, Just Everything.

Author's Note

I could have gone on forever with this one. I curtailed it and locked it away in a cabinet so it didn't grow longer than the city streets.
