Nonsensical Things

I make memories with people

I know I won't see again

I recall them in my mind—

Try to remember what I can


I take photos of cool places

Even though it's not the same

My desire to go back

A beast I can't hope to tame


I write down the funny times

That make me glad I am alive

Then I read them at the points

When I struggle to survive


And I listen to one song

On the days I'm doing bad

It is horrid it is lovely—

It is happy it is sad


So tell me why I do these things

These actions lacking common sense

If I'm just an animal

Inside a larger, nicer fence?
