In ethereal madness, in unspeakable sadness
I pick up the pieces of my shattered soul
In deafening silence, i collect my transcience
Alone in the universe i stand still whole
In my cosmic musings, i gather all the listings
Of what i was, and what i am, as i review my goals
As meaning eludes me, and death hounds me
I am again pursued by my existential ghouls
In the clutch of existence, i tried to grasp the essence
Of a life i cannot grasp beyond the eternal void,
As emptiness embraces me, within and outside of me,
I cannot wake within this body’s restless droid.
Though beauty astounds me, and mystery surrounds me
i cannot help but ask the answerless question
Why life is so poignant, why death is malignant
Why am i here and what’s my spirit’s predilection.
