Ego Death

Personality is just a performance, this is just a performance.
I searched for myself, to find that there was nothing there.
I went to exile, to find that there was nothing there.
I searched for spirit to find that there was nothing there.
There is nothing beneath the surface of your skin
We live our lives projecting characters,
but I know this is the way it’s got to be for you and me,
so let’s go.

The state of my environment has got me feeling low,
I try to get back up but now my mind is saying no.
My focus is reality and I’ve got that pma.
Then why Is it so hard to live life every single day?
Everyday, no energy.
Could it be that I, am independent creature,
Can not escape from my unmotivated nature?
I try everyday, but everyday I keep giving myself another day.
Stuck in a bad way, stuck living this way.
I question free will, it doesn’t feel real,
now I’m stuck here,
tomorow will be just the same

Western ideal of morality this emotion just feels so arbitrary.
I’ve been love and I’ve been hate it passes through me changing state.
Passion comes and then it goes, what is the feeling? I don’t know.
I’d like to believe I’m not going to deceive myself this time like every time.
Motivation comes as quickly as it goes and love it not the only need.
Don’t talk about feeling, I’ll save you the curse.
Don’t ask me for comfort I’ll make you feel worse.
I’m free from concern I don’t need your concern, what you see is what you get.
I’m not hiding a thought of anger or pain, just look past the emotion it just gets in the way.
Four year long existential chrisis, I wish my mind had a system for belief,
Each time I find an answer I find myself back in this four year long existential chrisis.
Every morning wrestle with my own mortality, indifferent to opinion, indifferent to a cause.
Emotion on a pedestal is ideology, feelings come feelings go, moving forward is my only hope.

The Choice

Not a day goes by where I don’t wake up questioning why I’m still alive it’d be easier just to die. But since there is no me neither you only us then I choose life.
The logic of suicide is sound and not irrational, if life equals suffering then just reduce life, these thoughts are my own when I’m forgetting about the rest, no one might love you but no one wants you dead. To end life would be a projection of death, to society, the world, and those who are left bereft, no one might love you but no one wants you dead. Don’t be another grave stone be alive instead.
I choose life this is a promise I’ve made, there’s not a thought that’ll take me away. And when it all comes to an end it’ll be a celebration for whom ever to attend, not a legacy of negativity.
