Existence

I am alone with myself
In this room filled with silence,
In the sea of samsara I delve
Day by day, confused by this existence.

At the brink of my sanity
I keep trying to find the truth,
Perhaps in a life of brevity
That which I should start with my youth.

For what is the meaning of my existence
But to experience sorrow and pain,
This world is so full of ignorance
And nothing is worth the gain.

In this meaningless existence
I realized my emptiness,
The only path to deliverance
Is to practise the Dhamma with mindfulness.
