Calculated Life: Canned Emotions

Calculated Life: Canned Emotions

2 mins
121


I strive, I live,

I have knowledge and wisdom,

Yet I understand nothing.

As an empty shell,

Delving through the mortal realm,

Drifting as an emotionless stone.


An unknown entity with an unknown fate,

I survive,

I cling to the mortal path.

Watching time slip away.


Clashes within,

Dissolved complexities of understanding,

Confused foundations of expressions.

Shadows of emotions hidden within.


The price of judgment and worthiness,

Judged without comprehension.

No worth in understanding,

Impossible to grasp.

An uncharted territory of mind, where

Canned emotions of fate reside.


Hiding behind a mask.

I am an entity, shaped by interactions.

Expressions like a play,

Deceiving the true of self,

Cheerful outside,

Yet deeply sad within.

A black hole within myself.


Never able to comprehend,

The fate I hold, the e

motions I feel.

Life passes with a hardened heart,

Watching loved ones grow old and fade,

Yet I shed no tears.


Destiny flows without direction.

Time follows none, nor does fate choose a path.

I am an empty shell,

Decaying without regret,

Neither clinging to the past nor building toward the future.


I made myself immune to mortal desires,

Burdened by their weight.

Helplessness paved my demise,

Emotions leak at unexpected times,

In unexpected places.

Yet I’ve perfected my mask, hiding myself.


Questions of the mind sprout nonsense often:

Why am I confused inside?

Why do I hide myself?

Why do I long for someone?

Why does my true self hesitate?

Why must my steps always be calculated?

Why can’t I feel happy?

Why do I wear a mask?


Destiny remains unknown.

I am just an empty shell,

Wearing a mask,

Hiding the shadows of my emotions.
