Comfortable.

I have seen a woman
Crying and crying rivers full of tears
As she suffers through an age of many stormy years.
I have seen the young man’s laughter stop
As silence reigns with heavy hand
Is it life?
Has life reached its lowest low?
The ring eternal of no return
Has it screamed
This is not how life was meant?
This is not the top.

I have seen the child emaciated beyond belief
And I have shed my many tears
Then sighed with relief
For it is not I
For in that moment I left relief
I sigh as I sit and watch my TV in its afterglow.
Knowing I have smiled
But what is it I do not see
Is Comfortable is all I wish to be
