all the mistakes you've made

all the things you've achieved



this has all happened before

this has always happened before



as the stars are burning out,

planets and black holes alike implode



everything we've known and loved

compressed into a tiny ball of energy



for just a few moments, everything is calm

the ball explodes into billions upon billions of stars.



solar systems form,

meteors are slung



until the conditions on one rock are just perfect

the start of the human race



you were born, as you always were,

as you always have been



this is your purpose

this is where you belong



making the same mistakes,

time after time



but sometimes, everyone is happy

you are surrounded by loved ones



this time won't last,

but it doesn't have to



you'll be here again,

as you always have been



everything goes black,

the cycle continues,



as it always has,

as it always will
