Emptiness

A formation of skin
Walking endlessly to find itself
Along shores and quiet roads
Carrying heart with a heavy soul

This reveals the several experiences the human being has faced, the pain, the joy, the ups and the downs. Even though he undergoes such, the human body is still standing strong. It depicts that the
man is strong to withstand any form of pain
And the human struggles each day to find itself, here is the question of identity
Finding where he fits in the society...
But on his journey of life, he is alone
He has no one to turn to, no one to carry his burden with him. No one to share his thoughts with, the world is so cold to him

With nothing to feel
Living a life surreal
No turning points;
Nor twisting roads

It depicts that the human is living a life without purpose and the life he is living is marked by the intense irrational realities of a dream that is unbelievable and fantastic.
The journey of his life is filled with no regrets and he is determined to keep going without thinking of trying out other options of a better existence
He is indifferent to anything life throws at him

Silence fills the mind
Realization come to bind
Everything is but;
An emptiness inside

When the mind is silent, the soul is silent and so is the body. When there is an emptiness within, the mind loses its purpose, there won't be any motivation to forge on life's journey and to persevere. Thus, the life's journey of a man is short. Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity
