An Ending


An Ending

 

Life drags along, and on and on, a painful river flows.

To leave one stranded, no recourse, monotony does grow.

Without what, could I not leave, upon an idol shelf?

If I find existence boring while I sit all by myself.

 

Well after I did consider, what most important, makes a living.

I have decided, that what one really needs, is knowledge of an ending.

No matter what happens, good or bad, an ending shall sustain;

The hope of change, a chance to reflect, a stopping of all pain.

 

So perhaps, it seems morbid, but what I cannot live without

Is the knowledge, that everything will one day be over, no matter the account.
