"End-"



Our lives beginning only for it to end-
Existing is the beginning of the end
We end at failure, we start again from the ground up
From discovering our existence-
To every crippling business-

Yet when it ends, we finally feel at peace
Happy that it is finally over-
When the end is the only the start of our new nightmare
Mundane issues ending only for it to be larger

Ending is not stopping-
Ending only starts a cycle-
The cycle of everything
As we spin into the dark void of ending for eternity-

About this poem

This brings into question of what the end truly is for us. For ending isn't stopping, just the forever loophole we are in. This was inspired by when I waited for school to end.
