I'm alone
I walk a path
That leads to nowhere
I look up into the sky
To the see the stars refuse to shine their light
On my road
So I fade away into the darkness
Leaving,no trail
For nobody to follow me
Into the darkness
My life is what the blind can see
The nothingness around me
Fills the void that has filled me
I want to cry
but the tears flow no more
Where are we all headed
What is god?
Is it a slaughter house for sheep like me
Lured away Into the darkness?
All we do in the name of civilisation
All we do in the name of survival
All we do in the name of duty
All we do In the name of wants
What for do we do all we do?
Where does it all end?
Death I guess is not the end of it all
But another beginning to realize how much we screwed things over
All for nothing
The demons,they're here
Hiding under my shadow
Slowly putting their arms around my shoulders
Slowly trying to win my soul over
The soul i've tried to keep lit
But alas the oil in my lamp has given way
As I follow myself
Into the dark
But once again I make the mistake
To assume this journey ends somewhere
But I think I'm wrong
I don't see anything
Not a sign
Not a sign of anyone
Not anything
The void is beginning to take life in me
My senses numb to all around me
I have journeyed into hell
There's no fire here
There's no pain here
There's no punishment
There's no Satan
There's no god
Just the merciless void
I need to tame
Maybe it's bad
Maybe it's good
Maybe it's just nothing at all
Maybe it's just being
The way it was supposed to be
No wants, no needs
Just being awake to the fact that you're alive.
Not puppeteered by the illusion of happiness or accomplishment
It's a lonely place here,
One I hope to find company in
will you join me in my journey
Will you,
Follow me into the dark?

I feel that's a very materialistic approach of life. Things can be never ending too. What if beyond life there's just a pool of energy that is concious? In that case this,energy will never be destroyed but will only be transformed from one form to another. Moreover in this piece, I'm talking about how because we're so attached to material aspects of life, we will never find a satisfying fulfilling end but instead will be fuelled by our growing needs for wants which will finally lead to a pointless death. And by pointless I mean a life that never found itself, a life that never really understood why it's been awake all this while, observing probability densities around it to inflict changes. The purpose of life is to live and we everyday of our lives, we keep forking further away from it.
