Dear Universe

Dear Universe,

Fuck you. Fuck you for all the pain you have caused. Fuck you for all of the innocent lives that have been taken. Fuck you for the fires that have burned people. Fuck you for the rapists and murders you let walk free. For all of the unjust things that have happened that have passed without being punished. “Life isn’t fair,” they say. Well, you know what? It’s people like you that make life like this. There’s a piece of the universe within each human being on earth. And why, just why, would you let little kids be kidnapped? Why would you let drunken dads abuse their children? Why would you let teens who hate themselves slice their skin until they land in their grave? Please explain why you let mothers hurt their innocent little babies? Why is it every time I look at the news I want to cry? Why would you let people be so cruel? And why do they get away with it? Why don’t you do anything about it? Is this like some TV show to keep you entertained? Is that all we are to you? Fuck you. Fuck you for everything.

I want peace. I want hope and love. I’m not asking for a perfect world. I know death is a part of life. I don’t want evil people to walk away free. I don’t want toddlers to be abused. I don’t want teens to be homeless and cold. I don’t want people to suffer. I don’t want society to oppress those of color, or different religions. I don’t want girls to be scared to walk home. I don’t want people to feel ashamed because of their sexuality. There are so many problems I want to address right now. There is so much that I could blame on you, and so much I want you to change. I want to punch you in the face for all of this. I want you to fix it. Fix the things that you have destroyed.

Sincerely,

Me.
