Void

[MoeBro]

It burns away from inside,
wasting away at this substance I once knew as life.
As days go by, I feel more hollow,
my life flashing before me.
And here stand I, grasping, in futile desperation,
for the experiences I once knew.

Has it been so long since I expressed love,
since I showed another soul compassion?
As the voices fight for control,
I begin to lose myself.
Where did the old me go? When was he consumed?
Will I ever find him again?
I know not of his thoughts,
of his existence, as an entity,
perhaps hidden within me, waiting to be exposed.

Alas, the void within me grows.
I fear the day when nothing remains.

This was brought on by a necessity to write, to let out some tension, some steam. Its about time I slept a decent night without these thoughts clawing at my head

It is also the first thing I've ever written from heart
perhaps also the last.

Don't be too harsh on me...
and don't suggest counselling or a shrink - they didnt help

wow hun glad u posted this...this was good to read. the void you've written bout i feel every day...its a niggling emotion that over whelms the lives of people. it does subside though after a while... trust me on that one. i take comfort in my friends to over come the void i feel.

very well written. no criticism at all...enjoyed it

heya moe!

you write well my friend - never be afraid of petry and writing, they can be your best friends when no one else will be.

I like your poem. Drop me a line if you ever need to talk. Looking forward to seeing you at the snow.

ive been there and ive felt it.. hell go through the archives and read my old posts if you want the proof, so i know, without a doubt, that this doesnt have to last. it lasts only as long as you let it. and the 'how' of getting rid of the void? right now you feel helples, youd do something about it if you could but nothing works, you dont know what else to try... all it takes is a concious decision. "right im fucken sick of this, im gonna be happy" and you are. but thinking those words is a lot easier than meaning them. making a huge change in your life, and in who you are is scary. youll do it when youre ready.

Harraser said it all really. Yeah, been there. Everything is grey, numb, empty and so very detached. But it does go away eventually, when you finally find the energy to fight through it. And the old you will still be there, just a little altered, a little scarred and a little more grown.
