Nothing Really Matters

when rob stepped out of the courthouse,with charges for posession he thought "it could be worse,it could have been for weapons" and then he thought..."nothing really matters anyway" when liz stepped of of the rehab,with a new outlook on life she felt all those same feelings of hurt, pain, and strife and then she thought "nothing really matters anyway" when luke picked up his young son from daycare,and knew he had an hour he thought back to the time he WOULD have stopped to grab his now EX-wife some flowers and then he thought "nothing really matters anyway" when lisa lifted up her body with nothing but her arms,and looked down at her legs she wondered why the heck they were even THERE anyway..what for? and then she thought "nothing really matters anyway" all four people that same night,all in their own homes picked up a remote,turned on the news and watched it come to blows one man had done 25 years in jail,for something he had not really done one woman lost the battle to addiction,one she thought she'd already won one boy got hit by a car on his bike,he just only 5 his parents,divorced one man lost his arms and legs while over fighting the war four different people,four different lives,four different struggles,all about to cry four different souls,four different heart,four different minds,all to have a fresh start why does it take a reality check to pull us into gear? why is it that reality sometimes must be our greatest fear? the next time you think you're the only one who hurts and has plight the next time you feel you're all alone,the only one who cries at night try and remember,try not to forget,that you are never alone whether you're telling your mom and dad your gay to the face or over the phone whether your wife divorced you,your husband's a dog,or your kids have NO respect you are human,deserve more,and you're not alone,cause' there is someone right next.... to you!!! nothing really matters. until you realize...nothing really matters.

Yes, Brittany, even at my older age I still suffer from depression. You just do the best you can and pray for something to really matter. Then look deep inside and search hard to find that spark of meaning. Allan

While I think this is a well written good poem, i tend to think love matters, or why are we here to start with. I have felt deep pain, but I stay living because i know people love me and i don't want to disappoint them. You're poem touched me, but it also disturbed me a little. Keep posting more work.
