Being Nothingness

Subash Khanal

Is it to be something?
-Being nothingness
Like Not looking at the window 
And not speaking in the crowd 
Not knowing the city 
And not shouting slogans 
Is it to be something?


Not attending any meeting 
And not expressing opinions 
Not greeting to anyone 
And not leaving impressions in relationships
Is it to be something?


Sometimes I feel a different meaning in being nothingness

Leaving all the chaos
Not joining any organizations 
Not following the crowd 
Not binding oneself in boundaries 
Being nothing 
Or being like oneself 
Surviving alone somewhere 
Is this also to be something?

Not viewing oneself
Not roaming anywhere
Thinking nothing
Not reaching anywhere
Sometimes I get lost in the beauty of being nothingness

Rather than being an ugly form of being
Being nothing seems to make sense to me 
Rather than not doing any journey 
Being stable and rooted seems right to me
Is it to be something?


We have done so much 
But have we become anything? 

We have achieved everything 
But have we achieved anything?
Or, have we just found ourselves? 
Everything we need to do 
Or, have we just thought? 
Every side we need to consider.
