nihilism

Undeniably, 
I feel forlorn, 
forever alone
a dead firefly,
a peacock without its feathers,
a tiger without its stripes;
is this where I'm meant to be?
"No focus? No matter! 
We're all going to die anyway!"
But if that's the case then why not just kill yourself?
It won't make a difference, would it? 
For death is inevitable, 
unless you make a deal with the devil, 
and who knows if he'll break the deal?
Who knows anything at all?
Am I going to carry my awards or medals when I die?
My wealth, my friends, my love:
these are little tangents to the circle of life, 
you are born 
and then you die. 
Why do anything at all?
Why think about why you feel like this
because at the end of the day
what does it even matter?

 Sometimes you just feel like an outside in your own life. You can smile and laugh and crack a joke with others, but when it’s just you- you’re different. You feel like you’re hovering over your own body: detached, miserable, lonely. There’s an aching desire in the pit of your stomach but you never know what it is. You just know that this isn’t where or how you’re meant to be. You watch time ticking away and you know you’ll never get these minutes back, but you still stay in your bed and look at the clouds or the stars or the mist and feel absolutely and utterly misplaced.
