Nothingness

I just want to lie down and stare straight ahead

into the unending depths of oblivion,

into the vast abyss of vacuum and void.

I am tired, bored and frustrated with all the 

masks, veils, make ups, gloss, sheen and fake smiles

I demand real faces, real beauty, real character and real 

intentions. But everything is a farce, a sham and a facade.

I just want to lie down and stare straight ahead

into the unending depths of oblivion,

into the vast abyss of vacuum and void.

Opportunism, rank dishonesty, fake sincerity and 

a truck load of lies - these are the layers that cloth

us, that make up the skin, the muscles and the bones.

Once the limelight is on,  we swagger in pride, put on 

a grand show and delude ourselves...but it can't last long...

For now,

I just want to lie down and stare straight ahead

into the unending depths of oblivion,

into the vast abyss of vacuum and void, looking for 

answers that evade me, tease me and mock me.
