An Existential Evening

I was born a blank slate. with arms that could reach, fingers that could touch eyes that could see, mouths that could talk.

say please, thank you, I love you goodbye. I was born with the things that could take me new places let me reach new heights travel longer distances explore new things taste new foods

question bigger things I was given these things though i did not ask why

every action we take every step we make we learn grow change create

but today I learnt and today I cried it wasn’t for the loneliness the happiness the anger the confusion the sadness the emptiness the hatred
