No Plagiarism!YPvZR8a7Len1FtnFRKJbposted on PＥNAＮＡ

If to be alive,

Means to be fulfilled, 

Then I am not alive.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLBbqucuSz

I am no being.

I have no purpose. 

I am a solitary object,

Trapped in the limbo;

The pure purgatory of my own thoughts.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn48vzCvrSI

I may plead, 

I may yell until my throat bleeds

And my legs collapse.

But there is no hope for me,

A simple object in the devoid reality

Of the universe.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPf3YPb4rR

Nobody notices me.

Not enough to think of where I came from,

Or who I truly am,

To them, I am a simple character in their complex existences,

When to me, I am nothing,

Yet everything at the same time.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg2g3vIlZM

So I shall keep afloat, 

For now.

Drifting mindlessly through the world,

As an object,

But nothing more.
