Meaningless Meanings To Living

Running out of reason, 

Tired of a excuse to keep breathing, 

Almost two decades I fooled myself into believing

That I would some day stop my grieving 

Maybe I would find a place in the world 

But for too many years i lied to myself beliving 

That maybe I had found my own true meaning

Convinced myself that i had found it, 

Yet only found failure, and being reminded of it everyday since

Do i keep trying or just admit i have no hope, with nobody to tell me otherwise

Perhaps my meaning is just to be a void, but in the end I will find a meaning and purpose 

And that's to become a compost pile for nature when everyone finally dies
