existence is futile.

you don’t know what some phrases mean.

and you say them anyway.

listen to your heart.

think with your head.

your heart just pumps blood to your veins.

but you can still listen to it.

it makes a beating sound.

like drums.

with the same constant bump.

bump bump.

when you’re excited it speeds up.

and sometimes it skips.

when you’re laying in bed you think about breathing and you can’t do it naturally.

it goes off beat.

and then you feel like you’re going to die.

when you’re old you’ll get a heart attack.

and you’ll die.

from too many cigarettes.

and alcohol.

and steak.

your friends won’t even come to your funeral.

they’ll have forgotten you by then.

and will be waiting for their time.

to join you underground.

where the dead sleep.

but have hope.

because people talk of an uprising.

an awakening of the dead.

a zombie apocalypse isn’t the strangest thing that could happen.

your happiness is more farfetched.
