Comprehension
Brings awareness,
And sometimes
Profound sadness;
You feel like
The earth beneath
Your shaky feet,
Has given way
To an abyss;
And yet,
You don’t quite fall in,
You hold on,
Grasping on
To anything,
To be able to resist,
The free fall
Into oblivion.

Yes, comprehension
Brings awareness,
And is perchance
Your first step to doom.
