The Note

Everyone says that
the universe is a marvel.
But you never thought that.

Everyone says that
life is well worth having.
But you never thought that.

What you thought
was contained in a note
pinned to your hanged body.

Everyone thought that
your hand was beautiful.
But they never said anything.

Thomas Ligotti, Death Poems, (2013)

It's right, the only marvel in the universe is how much we can suffer. Life is not worth it either, I can easily see there is much more suffering than happiness even for well-off people. However I don't think anyone thinks anything beautiful about me, even in secret, at least not for who I really am. I guess everyone's view of life is different but we can all agree it is suffering and pain.
