Do it.


I look around and it’s all the same

My life

His life

Their life

What’s the difference?

Nothing apparently

We could all just die within seconds

Who would miss us?

Do you know?

Everybody

Society

But who would remember us?

Nobody

Absolutely nobody

We get lost

Lost in the fights

Lost in the wars

Lost in the drama

We just get cut off

Cut down

And cut back

We go cold turkey on those we love

It doesn’t work well

But we forget

We forget the pain we went through

Just to forget them

It’s time you let them go

It’s finally time.

Let them go!

You can do it!

Do you see what’s happening?

You’re forgetting them

Like they did to you

The voices whisper

Do it

Do it

DO IT

Do you?
