So if I escape, will my pain go away?

Soul, where do I begin?
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠWhat about that poem by Eliot?
Ahh yes, only he could've continued:
Between the opportunity to toss a ball with a child
and the decision to smile and continue walking
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠWe have forgotten.
Between the opportunity to surrender to the rain
and the decision to escape it
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠWe have forgotten.
Between the opportunity to reconnect with old friends
and the decision to prioritize responsibility
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠWe have forgotten.
It wasn't sorrow that hollowed us out
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ,But the quiet erosion of care.
He called it Acedia
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠBecause 'nothing matters' felt too crude.
Soul, why do I exist?
