Unimaginable Universe

The Universe is unimaginable in it’s entirety.
Like a swarm of bees, these thoughts sting nightly.
It’s not a thing that I can seem to take lightly.
The unknown is exponential while the known is so tiny.
It’s a lonely existence, is what I am finding.
Most live their lives not knowing, yet not minding.
But these thoughts of despair are found in my mind binding
with who I am fundamentally – and now my days are winding
down, being wasted away.
Why not expedite the countdown, when there’s no need to stay?
But hey -
there’s plenty going right.
There’s food, water, love, and a place to rest at night.
Then why do I feel like I’m tearing apart from inside?
Spontaneous combustions of emotion I fight.
I barely survive by inhaling a high
that hardly even numbs the yearning to die.
But I…
I know I must try.
Because for all I know, I’ve only got this one life.
