sometimes I wonder, 

when I hear other's words. 

who has had things better, 

and who has had things worst. 

it has become a sort of twisted game, 

to find comfort in someone else's fate. 

we take pleasure in knowing that someone else has felt pain. 

and we feel less alone, 

with our thoughts that will never be tamed. 

we're all animals that like to assert dominance on those below us, 

it's our curse and it will crush us. 

unless you save us, 

save us all, 

with love.

This poem is definitely relatable to me, and I found it very striking, because I know it is the sort of thing most people will not admit to, and I commemorate your bravery for being able to do this. You articulated it very well, and expressed the cynicism in it, without making it sound like victimizing nor saying it is right. As well- like most problems you offered a solution, a beautiful one at that; love. Thank you for sharing.
