Thread: Waiting to die.

  1. #1

    Waiting to die.

    Thought Provoking-
    I have never understood life.
    It’s purpose, it meaning, it’s joys,
    I’ve never understood that thing
    Between girls and boys.
    I’ve never understood why anything.

    I have tried to understand faith,
    Philosophy, belief, love and hope,
    It all just seems wishful thinking
    Illusions to help you cope
    With a complete lack of meaning.

    So here I sit wasting time,
    Finding small distractions
    Whilst waiting to die.
    I pretend to care,
    Pointless words and interactions
    Searching vainly in ungainly life
    For something of real value
    But I find only one thing to be true-

    All of existence
    Our raging, our works, our world
    is but a futile pretence,
    And even love, our greatest treasure
    Is but a foolish, fleeting pleasure,
    And even heaven, should it exist
    Offers no meaning only a catalyst
    For further endurance of being.

    So here I sit wasting time
    With the greatest questions
    But no expectations,
    While waiting to die.

    The last piece was better, but this was still a really good read. Wording was itchy in a few sentences. Placement wise mostly. Choice of words though was well on point. Imagery was cool, not as good as before but still mindbottling. The emotion lacked some, but was still up to par. Nice read, could've been better but still enjoyed it. Keep writing.

    I see you still haven't fully grasped the concept of poetry yet lol. It's the truth though, this piece is by far better than the last. But I thank you for feeding this piece.
