the nothingness

By SubwayBoi

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

it surrounds everyone all the time to describe it would be to give it form and it has none it is the nothing colourless, odourless, shapeless, motionless, nothing you know you can feel it closer than you want it to be language is too constraining to express how it feels you may have spent a lifetime running from it burying yourself in trivial things to avoid its emptiness it is the reason you always play music it is the reason you always go out it is the reason you distract yourself to never be alone with it the world is set up to help you avoid the nothing and so you are left with a choice you can embrace the world or embrace the nothingI can't describe the nothingness that I feel any better than this. If you know what I'm talking about, I really want to know. Written November 25th, 2001 © on Nov 25 2001 11:21 AM PST   10 • 0
