Selfish

By Natalie Meyers

Experiencing these deep boughs of nothingness and everything all at once.

My soul does not feel fed.

I feel like a stranger to myself, this experience, and this existence.

This world has become, or maybe has always been, so harsh.

Not only to one another, but to the beloved place where we live.

This pandemic has exposed the fragility of our existence and our selfish nature.
