The Abyss of Meaninglessness

And I just want something.

Something to mean anything.

Anything at all.

Someone to translate, once and for all.

What can I say?

I've fallen into the abyss,

the abyss of meaninglessness,

and it just won't let me go.

life gets that way, it feels meaningless...and we need someone to pull us out of the abyss or give us a reason to pull ourselves out...and translate life into happiness...

and maybe our poetry...maybe someone can translate what we write, because even we don't understand it.

nicely done.

You are so right about needing someone (or perhaps something) to pull us out of that abyss. Thank you, Jacob.

i get a existential nightmare feel here, like Sartre staring at his hand wondering what the hell.. having clarity can be extremely overwhelming....you sing? this has a lyrical-ness to it as well.

[Diana]

Unfortunately, I don't sing much, so no. Glad it was thought-provoking.

We all seek some form of meaning, some form of translating and some form of worth as this wonderful poem suggests midst the abyss of meaninglessness( A long word indeed)...Excellent...:).................

[Diana]

[Sami Khalil]

Clever word play, Diana. Existential angst at it best.

[Diana]

Thank you, Pryde.

Is that you, I thought I was alone in here. This was great Diana. I like how you made something out of a theme of nothing. I really enjoyed this today.

[Diana]

Thanks, willweb. Nothing is my specialty these days.

[willweb]

That actually sounds like fun. :)

[Diana]

Sadly, no.

[willweb]

Hopefully "something" turns up soon. :)

[Diana]

I like that. Thank you.
