Nihilism

Some look to a God.
They say our endless striving
to fill the emptiness within
is misguided—
because only God
can fill the void inside.

But—

Stop looking for meaning.
There is none.

It is not within.
It is not without.

Can a newborn baby
love itself into existence?
Does it exist
before it knows itself?
Without language,
without thought—
is it truly real?

There is nothing outside.
There is nothing inside.

There is—

Nothing.
