Eternity

We say there’s something past

And whether there is or isn’t

Is not to test


Because for all days

There will be a tomorrow

Maybe of darkness or maybe of light

But time goes on, that is a fact


For me, the question is not God

The question is not of awe

The question is not a question

It is a fraud


Because there is no inquiry about it

The tragedy of this life is the eternity of it


If there be a Heaven

If there be a Hell

It won’t matter where we dwell

Because there will be no farewell


The author's comments:

I was always very terrified of the idea of forever. I couldn't sleep because it really scared me. So, I thought I would describe what was so terrifying about all of this and express it through poetry. Maybe someone else had the same feelings and they could connect to my poem.
