Ennui

Ennui

A Poem by grey.eyes

it isn't just starting,
it already has.
right in front of my 
silly blind eyes.

that's the last time
i leave my mind
alone, to evade 
and fantasize.

my thoughts won't 
sleep, my body won't
ease, when the moon 
is high in it's reign.

so i spend my hours
of darkness alone,
unbecoming and
going insane

this is so cool & creative. great, powerful title that catches and relates so much as it draws you in. the wording and imagery are perfectly effective for that all encompassing feeling of dissatisfaction. powerful ending nails it. :)

thank you so much!
I took this to be a moon fascination or metaphorical moon to mean PMS - either way it conveys that frustration of ennui very well.
