Emptiness

Depression. It's such a sad word. Depress. Depressed. Depression.

Depression: The online dictionary describes it as: A psychiatric disorder characterized by an inability to concentrate, insomnia, loss of appetite, anhedonia, feelings of extreme sadness, guilt, helplessness and hopelessness, and thoughts of death. Also called clinical depression.

That explanation was not entirely the way I was feeling. The next meaning was more me... The condition of feeling sad or despondent.

I glanced at this with the intention of editing it, but truthfully, I just couldn't be stuffed. So here is yet another unedited poem that's going on the blog. Obviously, since here it is.

The explanation for this piece? I had a bad week or two.


Emptiness

Emptiness
A hole
Nothingness
Pulling, gnawing inside
A hideous monster
Unable to control it
Unable to destroy it

Draining the life
The happiness
Out of you
Until you forget
The purpose of it all
And wonder
What could you have done better?
Differently?

Sinking
Sinking
Hit the bottom
To curl up and break
Pieces scatter
Leaving you wondering
Can they be put back together?



Doesn't exactly convey what I wanted it to, but I like it nonetheless.
