Ultimate Nihilism

A life doesn't matter
in how you live or die.
It doesn't matter if you give up.
It doesn't matter if you cry.

It doesn't matter if you heal,
It doesn't matter if you hurt.
It doesn't matter if you break,
Burnt or broken, Life's curt.

It doesn't matter what you learn,
It doesn't matter what you know.
It doesn't matter if you stand still,
It doesn't matter if you grow.

***

Needless hours
are spent withering away.
Stress: life or death aren't worth getting it to stay.

Endless echoes
Resound off the wall.
Yet for the echoes of others,
It isn't worth existing at all.

And isn't worth keeping all the money in the world.
It'll soon be gone,
And there'll be nothing left but portals on the wall,
Nothing will be left, Nothing left at all.

So it doesn't matter if I care.
It doesn't matter if I die.
If it's all the same to you:
I will live.
I will love.
And I will lie.

Moments spent pondering the nihilism of others gets me to recognize that to them, simply giving way to philosophy is pointless. It seems nihilism is the perfect 'religion' for existing in the present.
