Blowing up and numb

The World and Personal Stuff

The world keeps blowing up

Every month there’s something going on

 that boggles your mind.

Disappoints, hurts, 

Gets your emotions running high.

At this point,

  many people, including me,

  feel numb.

Crazy and scary is becoming the norm,

Death and destruction are becoming the norm.

My personal tribulations,

  in contrast to the world issues,

  seem 

    small

      selfish

        trivial.

My personal life seems

  irrelevant 

  in the scheme of things.

Nothing that happens to me

  is insurmountable.

Nothing I do 

  effects the course of the world.

My personal stuff

  won’t even be a footnote

  In history.
