Numbers Have Love

Just know this. Numbers...add meaning to life.
They don't just tell you
how much time you've wasted today
how little you are really getting paid
How long a distance you have to travel to reach your goals
Sometimes they say "You're almost there; don't give up."
Or "You've defied the odds, you've broken the rules, but the rules don't care. Congrats."
Or "This one little
mistake
waste
problem
incident
spike of pain
moment of heartache
failure
misfortune
hurt
sorrow
time of despair
is like an instantaneous velocity of the speeding line
it's existence holds things in place
without it, the physical as we know it
couldn't exist
but the number describing it
is so small
so infinitesimally small
it infinitely nears zero
it brushes against the nothing
it reached the Event Horizon
and in the grand scheme
When infinity becomes our reality
though it shouldn't be forgotten
because scars, you see,
add character
and harden the skin
and remind us of life before,
it can still be counted
as zero.
nothing.
nothing at all."

Sometimes Numbers are much nicer than you first assumed.
