Life is a void circle,
I am at its center.
So, it's no matter
If the circle is
Bigger or smaller,
I remain at its center.
At no point can I
Intersect its circumference,
As I am equidistant
From any point on it,
And the distance is constant.
Big or small, same resultant.
So I better quietly lie
At my predestined position,
And build my home in void.
Now, no point asking myself,
What kind of a home is this
That I've built in emptiness!
Life is a void circle.
I live in its emptiness.
Life revolves around me,
Me, its center of gravity.
Life is a journey,
From here to eternity.

Though it may sound pessimistic but the harsh truth is like that only, like or not, doesn't matter, we have to pass through it.... very well written

Living in a void, never getting any closer to anything else. It sounds so lonely and sad. Someone must take a pie shaped slice from your lonely circle so you can find a way out.
