"Do you want to know the truth?"
The air around me is warm, but cool air brushes past my face.
My eyes stare up at the void above.
The void that gives me life.
Stars burn bright, thousands of them filling my view.
"The truth is what I live for." I respond silently.
The voice from the void laughs in agreement.
I smile faintly at the thought of learning the truth that I have obsessed over for so long.
"That nothingness inside of you... The pointless feeling you get of being... So small and insignificant... That is the truth."
The voice brings sadness and anger out of me.
After this long. After all I have been through?
The worst feeling That I have ever had... That is the truth?
"Excuse me?" I mouth back to the universe in disbelief and shock.
"Do not let negative emotion come of this... I only shared with you what you wished to know... The truth."
I respond to the open air with silence.
"So...?"
"So?" I shout back into the night.
"How dare you tell me I have life for no reason... It is not possible."
"Hush now child."
"If there is no reason why are we born? Why do we die?" My voice again shouts into the nighttime sky.
"That is the nature of all biological life... You are born... You die..."
Again I respond with silence, not quite sure what to say.
"You are alive... You should be thankful for that."
"Thankful? Thankful for a meaningless existence? I cannot think of anything worse!"
"How? Nonexistence is not far... You will surely have time to rest when your body is rotting away in the ground child."
"How? Why?" I try to form some kind of defense against the universe but my mind comes short.
"You are here to experience all of this... You are one with the sea. One with the trees child. The life on your planet is beautiful, is that not enough for you?"
I try to breath but my lungs take in no oxygen.
"And with your comment about death... How do you think that you could make any of this worth it if you know you have an infinite time to experience it..."
I thought about the possibility that the universe was telling me the truth. Either that or I was losing my mind.
Diving deeper- was I losing my mind?
I was standing in the middle of a field all by myself... Alone... Talking and yelling into the sky.
"What have I become?"
I say aloud again.
"You mistake pain for strength... Misery for happiness..."
Again My mind was unsure of a way to respond... So I didn't. I walked away.
