Lost Toys

If I had only a quarter of a penny for each line I've crossed out and each page I've crumbled up and thrown away, I could pay off every nation's debt. If I could only have back just a fraction of every second that I've wasted on what if's, I could escape death-- maybe not forever, but at least for a while (it just depends on how generous you are with the fraction, I guarantee that I'll be more than generous with the regret). They say ignorance is bliss and ignorance is strength, I'm not sure if either are really true, but I know for sure that with knowledge comes pain.

A human life was never meant to be regulated, but the demons within humanity require regulation. Humans, we were meant to be free, but are clueless when handed freedom. Don't you see? We need leadership to survive, but leadership, when involving humanity, is inherently toxic. If you pause for just a moment and soak in the human condition, all that you will find is irony.

Politicians steal from the same poor folk that they swore to protect. We're all selfish, even Mother Theresa just wanted to get to Heaven. They call me pessimistic, I call me realistic, but these words are nothing more than letters and sounds destined to be lost in this abyss that we will never understand.

Most likely God is only indifferent to the idea of our existence. We're like that toy you got as a kid, which got lost in the closet, and eventually sold in your parent's garage sell-- you didn't even realize that it went missing and God doesn't even realize that we're all down here burning. We're just another one of his lost toys.

Sure, I wish that I had butterflies and unicorns fluttering around in my mind, but all I have is the devil and his whisperings telling me everything will be fine​. I've also been told that the devil's a liar. But so am I. And so are you.
