[ WP ] Write something depressing about the meaning of life , or lack thereof .

Reach out 
 
 Reach through the flames 
 
 As only the bold can 
 
 And grab your destiny 
 
 Clutch it tight 
 
 Dig your nails - dirt and all - 
 
 Deep into the soft flesh 
 
 The blood dribbling down your arm 
 
 Sizzling in the fire 
 
 And growl and gnash your teeth 
 
 At anyone who tries to stop you 
 
 This is your destiny 
 
 Your purpose 
 
 Your snatch of flesh dripping raw 
 
 Because those who wait for it to cook starve 
 
 Guard it close 
 
 Rend and chew 
 
 Force your meaning deep down into the hollows of yourself 
 
 Feel the blood and sick and death and dirt 
 
 Swimming around in your bile 
 
 But swallow it down and guard it jealously 
 
 Even if it makes you sick 
 
 Do not let a single drop spew out 
 
 Or someone else - everyone else - 
 
 Will scoop and swallow your sick 
 
 Your meaning 
 
 Your destiny 
 
 And you will need your strength 
 
 To hunt tomorrow again in the morning
