Nothing matters anymore
Who am I kidding
Nothing ever mattered
Feeling empty , maybe I should eat.

I may fool myself,
But dont be fooled you dont.
I mean yourself
To think you know.

Its a deeper meaning,
A closer look,
The ones-self i mean
To define as a whole.

Its not just this term
That words cant describe.
Each letter of any language,
The meaning depends on how you write.

But who gives the meaning?
And how it came to be?
If someone continuesly trys to wonder,
The mind will set to agony.

Your only comfort is your inner peace
And you constantly looking to find.
What many have died in search for,
Its only a threat and your mind will decline.

So you can't understand yourself,
Because there is no meaning in ones-self.
Its a paradox world which you only have to accept.

it was a bottle or two,
downed, you know,

by this grave, grave "poetic hen."

birthing eggs of nothing,

words that'll scroll up in a thousand screens

like yours, like mine,

we share, you and I,
a great,
a very great,
nothing.

Do you know how lovely you are?
Though often passing time seems to mar
Your beauty fires of life just unearth
Shining light behind every scar

Do you know the sum of your worth?
More precious than all of the jewels of the earth
An intricate, masterful, purposed design
Something unchanging in sorrow or mirth

Can't you see now, your exquisite and fine?
More eloquent than any fragrance or wine
This I will show you, each day that I can
And celebrate you, knowing this, you are mine

This sentence has no meaning.
I might as well rip it
from my notebooks
And my mind.

How pompous of me
to believe meaning
could ever be constructed
from Nothing.

Nothing by all means.
Is this existential? I'm writing it for a certain type of audience.  It's in line with my whole suicide prevention ideas - or trying to convince people that they have self worth when they feel nothing at all.

Treasure things before they go.

Treasure people before they go.

Although everything is meaningless, we must infuse these people and things with meaning.

in a world where everyone
is trying to get ahead,
make their family proud,
and their neighbors jealous

i'm just trying to feel useful,
like if I was to die tomorrow
I'd be missed,
and not replaced within a week
when I compare my life goals to others,
I feel so alien, so out-of-place
