At Least a Plausible Case for Pessimism - Shai Hulud

The pauses taken to reach a deeper comprehension

Lead to further fear and apprehension overall

In seeking a moment of clarity

She found herself misdirected

Musing.

Why think at all

Endure the aches of actuality

As the outside world embracing apathy is blessed with oblivion?

Heart and mind at odds again

Always and forever

Betrayed by introspection, eternally

The searching of the soul is a scythe to the essence of oneself.

A tender core so selflessly reaped

Heart and mind wounded again

Troubled deeply

And does she gain in the throes of lucidity?

She, too, could know the comforts of oblivion

Heart and mind at odds again, always and forever

She, too, could know the comforts of a blessed life

Blind to truths, rejecting the depth and need of human understanding

She takes no pause to reach a deeper comprehension

The heavy toll of fear effected a depletion of faith

Reveling in this moment of clarity

She found herself liberated

Why feel at all?

To endure the aches of actuality

The outside world embracing apathy is not blessed

But condemned to absurdity

Rather die alone than in oblivion
