There is peacefulness in every random blank stare,
A sense of freedom, letting all things go bare,
There is calmness in the silence of the deep dark night,
Still like water thats unfazed by any might

There is serenity in the thoughts of nothing, how odd it may be,
Thoughts of nothing, yet changing phantasmagorically,
There is joy in the walks knowing not where the journey ends,
Thinking of nothing, taking each step without making amends,

There is fulfilment in the emptiness our mind succumb,
A feeling of achievement, no matter how dull, no matter how dumb,
There is glory in laying still and staying put,
Like a great centennial tree, ever so hard to uproot,

There is happiness in the stalemate of thoughts rushing through our mind,
A certain surge of enthusiasm for our daily grind,
There is beauty in nothingness, any mere man will confess,
There is beauty in nothingness, even the dead can attest

The last leaf has fallen and all the birds have flown
And all that were once precious are now nothing but stone
I did my best, i did, yet it was all for naught
Now i’ll be laying lifeless, filled with doubt and distraught

I have taken action and now have to face whats ahead
I have decided now, that i’d be better off dead
My body is broken and my spirit is shattered
I have nothing more, no courage to be mustered

Oh i thank you, for your love, your patience, and for being considerate
And oh the will you gave me to go on and live, i greatly appreciate
I hope i made you all happy, even if its once in a while
I’m sorry if i made you cry, and i’m honoured to have made you smile

I have found peace though it is not in this life of mine
For i have realised what a fool i’ve been to have said “i’m fine”
I bid you goodbye now, i wish you all to be well
I’ll see you soon, but for now, this will be my fond farewell

— The End —
