Since then, I stopped caring
about trivial things and
everything I classified as suchThings like joy and meaning
—the eternal pursuit of happiness
and the way to heaven—
I stopped caring about that
since the time I opened my eyes
to the grim reality we all have
to face one moment of anotherSince then, I stopped caring
about trivial things like that of
masterful talk and smiles
from being at the top of the worldSince I descended into the depths
of my soul and saw with my own eyes
the darkness of the void eating my core
When I clawed myself out—
I stopped caring about trivial things
like acceptance and fitting in
knowing that the filth in my nerves
would wash the saints off their holinessBut now I don't care
—I don't care about a lot—
things like love, peace, rest, purpose
—all meaningless in the face of
the only eternal fate
awaiting us on the shores of Death
—I don't care anymore—
Let the acrid tides of spite
and anger sweep me
into its currents
—melt my bones,
sew my skin back into them
after tearing it with the force—
I don't care anymore
—I don't—
kill me with bittersweet
kindness and wrathful sympathy
and watch me laugh at your face
because I don't care to save myself
—not anymore
