Exulansis

"What are you afraid of losing? When you own nothing in this world".
To cherish a flower yet to perish
To gaze upon the ways of life 
As you slowly fade away
Tell me or better yet ask yourself 
Why bother?
Conversation,Communication,Comprehension.
To start a topic and give suggestions 
Discuss on concepts and break down steps
The assimilation of the other 
But then nothing is equal
So why search for it?
Why bother involving
The ache on my lips
The constant itch in my eyes
The heavy swallows at night
A recurring routine 
I believed if I said my mind and explained 
Once, twice 
I could be understood......
However I'm surrounded with translucent figures
With a clear conscience
A lot unsaid, my tired heart can't continue 
And so I've a reached a state
