Sober

Sober

Think not of "why" when you think
For life is far too strong to drink
You should not try to understand
Existence in this Hellish land
Children born but never fed
Women love and fear their wed
Some let fear enrage their minds
God makes all and says "divine"
So live your life and clear your head
Life is only missed by the dead.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
