Selfish Creatures

Serenity Combes

why does a jellyfish get the blessing of beauty while living its life with no thought. oh why be so selfish you beautiful creature. i’ve spent many years wondering if your god is so real so why not i just find out today. with the hope as i rip my own flesh apart and wait to decay for the maggots to feed off me while i’m 6feet under that my soul will wake back up floating in the sea. finally being the beautiful, quiet,and peaceful jellyfish.
