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.
