What have we become?

Risen in the night,
when our world collides.
Taking pills to survive,
afraid to get caught on the riptide.
Desperate for that need of attention,
falling in love with loneliness.
Making us scream with desperation,
waking up motionless.
Our purpose in life we don’t know,
discovering the future is terrifying enough,
and yet we never seem to get enough.
