[121] Pursuit of Stillness

So focused on where I’m going
I forget where I am
Loneliness masked as solitude
Caught in a corrupt mind’s reverence
The evil masked as aspiration
I live under the devil’s imminent invitation
unconcerned and unperturbed

The nihilism and existentialism
soothe and caress my worries
but does it make them go away?
for that, I still worry
The downfall of the sun
sucks all the hopes away
Do I have to go to space now
to feel the sun’s ray
and a little bit of breathless
to instil the fear again
to add that fuel to the fire
and a time that just
stays

  1. So I am getting the sense that it is emotional. To me, personally, it sounds and feels shallow, but I know other people will have deep connections to it. Good job.
