She Comes And Goes Poem by Nia Schexnider

I come from nowhere it seems and,

to nowhere am I planning to go.

I'd change my name but it would make no difference,

I'd say I'll remember you forever but I won't.

there is no forever for me.

The only thing that is real is the fact that we will not be here tomorrow.

Time can't be lost and it can't be gained.

It is gone and it goes.

We are running in circles looking for things,

that we will never find.

We can't understand the universe.

we can't even understand ourselves.

We watch things, we watch animals,

television, plants, chemical changes,

but the real answer is not something we can see.

The reason things do what they do,

is not a question we can answer.

Why force yourself to be miserable?

I understand, why.

To make it seem like something matters.

but it doesn't.

let go.
