meaningful

when the light gets too bright

we can see all the ugliness

all the things we didn’t like

we’d rather stay in the dark

fooling ourselves with unnecessary things

searching for eternity

for love from another being

we can’t escape death

so we kept denying,

we’re just a bunch of chemicals

existing for a brief moment

in this vast and unknown universe

when everything becomes nothing at the end

and there’s no exception,

even for the mightiest human.

t.l.

why do we keep doing the meaningless things

by trying to put meanings in everything
