limits into a line

i suppose i'm always looking for people who's lives are worse than mine.
so i can justify the fact that i don't take care of myself?
so that i can excuse myself from feeling?
so that i can wake up every day and say
"i could have it worse, don't have anything to complain about"

but there isn't one person
they have found
one person who has it worse
one person who has it the worst
one person who is allowed to be sad


one person is impossible
what you have doesn't compare
what they have is never the same
our individual statutes of limitations
is not a line

despite all that
i cannot be happy
someone has it better
and thus the ridiculousness continues

i cannot be
but i can't not be
and yet
i am

i can be sad.

our limits are not a line

i can be happy.

our limits are not a line
