So little beauty in me

All my life, I have fought a seemingly unending battle to believe in
myself. I have not yet succeeded. Wars I have fought and battles I
have lost. I cannot begin to think about all the lives I have wasted

action but nothing ever comes of it. I feel the atrophy of my legs
worn down by years standing idly by as I watch whole species disappear
under my eyes. Words are whispered among the winds that speak of
peace, that speak of life just beyond the horizon, but there is no
substance to them. Wishful thinking is a fool's game and I don't play
that game anymore.
I choke back down emotions meant to make me feel that I am part of
something bigger, part of something at all. I don't want to feel that,
like I said...wishful thinking. Sadness permeates the fabric of my being
as I listen to the children cry. It doesn't matter what part of the
world they live in or what they believe, their pain is acute and it
stabs like a knife. If only I could believe a little bit more. If only
I could see just a little bit farther.
Inside, I am confined by a compilation of religions, cultures and
creeds all vying for dominance and through the selfishness of all, I

I do not recognize "humanity as a human being", as a wild weed grass perhaps
(lots of individual plants).
Also what you say includes "I", "myself", "me", "my life, etc., nothing
about the approximately six billion other primate folk(except in sympathy).

Thanks for your stories. Keep up the good work.
