A Poem by TilisLied

I don't know what life is for

I don't know how to use it

I don't know what to do

 

Please tell me because I'm clueless

Give me the direction I need

I don't know how to live

I see everything dance around me

all in perfect harmony.

But I don't what we're dancing for,

I don't know who we're dancing for.

Are we just dancing for ourselves?

 

Nobody can tell me

Nobody knows, but they keep dancing.

I can't do this

I'm so tired, and the room is spinning.

 

I feel as though I'm being dragged along

Forced into a spiral of uselessness

until the music finally stops

so we can feel the pain right before the end

 

Please tell me!

Tell me the final mystery!

Give me something to love!

Give me a reason to open my eyes!

 

You have the answers,

you know so much.

You know everything about everything

You have seen all of time.

You who have seen everything,

can you give me a reason to dance?

Can you tell me how to stop falling?

Can you tell me who the show is for?

 

Save me

Please save me. I'm falling behind,

and I don't know if it's worth catching up.

 

I beg of you who is hidden in plain sight

Show me who I am!

Do I exist?

Or am I merely a picture?

 

Stop me from fading

Stop me from drowning

Stop me from living death

 

Hello?

Again, sorry if it's confusing. My writing is very impulsive.
