Shouting into the Void


Social media is such a weird place these days.

Almost like a deserted desert town.

The semblance of life still visible.

But no actual people.

Just memes rolling by like tumbleweeds.

It’s like we’re all waiting for someone

to do it.

Break the mold.

Smash through the screen.

Shout out.

Speak truth to the reality.

And the day-to-day grind.

Just one person who will declare:

LIFE HAS BEEN REALLY, REALLY HARD.

IT CONTINUES TO BE HARD.

AND THERE’S NO SIGN OF IT LETTIN’ UP IN THE HARD DEPARTMENT.

So I offer you this:

one voice

(my voice).

Saying I get it.

I‘m with you.

Life-ing this life thing

is really fucking hard right now.
