Confusion, deceit, hatred (no wait scratch that) dislike

All running through the heart like a jackrabbit on speed,

All dashing in the brain like a herd of wilder beasts,

Nothing but a wall of glass keeping everything intact,

Not a single inch away from cracking like a bad punch line at the end of the longest joke...

LIFE

Nothing and everything keeping the end near and so very real

All things coming to an end

Nothing living or being forever

All thing leaving and dying

Not a single thing immortal or otherwise staying to roam the earth infinitely

Even Earth one day ceasing to exist
