Plight of Man

When a soul no longer feels forgiven
When your heart no longer wants to continue living
When it feels that everything you have
Isn’t worth giving

When your footsteps become heavy
And your thinking is petty
When you give your all
Unwilling to take a fall
Into despair

When head hangs
Under the sting of embarrassment
And you let communications
Meant to forge or maintain connections
Go unanswered

When people you should be closest to
Seem like strangers from across foreign waters
Food becomes something that makes you fatter
And heartache is what keeps you from sleeping

Then you will know the plight of man
