The Gods of Lovecraft

Sometimes,
In my more vulnerable,
Miserable,
Psychotic,
Suicidal moments,
I secretly wish I was in an HP Lovecraft story.

The prospect doesn’t frighten me,
Living in such a world,
Teetering on the edge of madness,
Surrounded on all sides,
By horrifying,
Indescribable,
Ungodly monstrosities,
Who care not for the peoples they destroy,
The continents they sink.

A universe with no good or evil,
Only insignificant humanity,
Playing its silly games,
In the shadow of forces,
We cannot even begin to understand,
That can end us with but a simple look,
Or shrug.

Doesn’t sound too different from our world,
Except Lovecraft had giant alien monsters,
And mad scientists,
Sounds like an improvement if you ask me.
