Have you ever
Wondered why
Sitting on ground
Under a overwrought sky

Why plays on a loop in my mind

Why are we here?
Why do I exist?
Why do I feel agony when I experience bliss?
Tense, I curl my hands into fists
Lay my comatose body down in barren lot
And allow the inquiries to persist

If I just had some answers
It would cease
Finally, I could be at peace
But everyone has a different take on
The meaning of life

Sometimes
In an attempt to let it all go
In a barren land where nobody goes
I kick off my shoes
And release all the questions,
I let the intense desire to know go
For in that segment of time
I don't need to know
I just need to be
Experience life through my senses
Touch, taste, smell, hear, see
And not through my mind's faulty reasoning.
