It makes you think twice about those days you don't have a care in the world
What is hell?

It’s rooting through a dumpster
while the sun beats down mercilessly on your back
for the merest scrap of useful waste
and wasted use

hell is the cage you’ve created for yourself
through years upon years of wasted time
of ignorance; not only innate, but desired

the empathy that dwells within human compassion
the pain that dulls our senses day by day

and I can’t help but wonder,
what got him here?
