The Human Condition

I woke up today.
I am disappointed.
Maybe I shouldn't have.
This is the human condition.

I breathe.
Air fills my lungs,
but I do not feel alive.
The human condition.

I cannot feel my body,
it moves on its own.
I am numb.
The human condition.

As I walk this path,
the days blend together.
It's been Tuesday for months now.
The human condition.

I am sad.
I want to cry,
but the tears will be wasted.
The human condition.

I am tired,
My eyelids grow heavy.
But I do not sleep.
The human condition.

I look around and see,
I am utterly miserable,
and so is everyone.
This is the human condition.

The universal constants fight.
Pain, Sorrow, and Misery
are pitted against
Love, Good, and Righteousness.

Even after a millennium.
There is no winner,
Only a loser.
Me.
The one who experiences;
the Human Condition.
