attached to life

A soul clinging to life, more piercing than its own end; a constant uncertainty with the ever-present tension of its possible outcomes. Ideas, perhaps mistaken or perhaps accurate, of how this continuous despair will end. Multiple individuals submerged in the same pain, pretending to resist, but despairing among themselves. The unconscious plea for rest, the soul's impotence in not yielding. The pain shared by the soul and its companions. Knowing that their pain will linger even when everything ends.
