Blank

A poem from a deep place about my past; about shutting down. I give out hope to those who might be in a similar situation; there is always HOPE!!!

I shake inside with tremendous fear and sorrow,

While I attempt to express the depths of my heart.

My eyes begin to glaze with tears of grief,

And my soul begins to shutter violently.

The very core of my being stiffens,

Shutting down the existence of feelings within.

Feelings within rage with intensity as the words are precisely picked,

From branches that lie deep rooted in darkness.

But the words I speak flow freely from your ears,

Without a hint of effort.

As you continue to speak my ears become anemic,

And my heart falls limp.

My soul becomes silent,

Pain rushes in with regret of any speech at all.

A blanket suffocates all emotion,

Steeling all that was left within.

So emotionally blank,

Nor my eyes or my heart are capable of issuing signs of sorrow.

I would rather feel sorrow or piercing pain,

Anything at all.

Depression or death,

But no emotion exists.

Blank.

I hate seeing someone as beautiful as you feel damn sad-bad at all with pain because you are not made to get pain but having much pleasure of life with joy and happiness so that you could make this bad world again pure and good with your scent as it was a few decades earlier.

Don't be sad! May you soon come out from your pain and again start jumping on your couch with ear-phones to let the earth know 'Hailey Shay' is back not blank!

i love this poem. The emotion is so raw and overwhelming, which is ironic since you are writing about feeling nothing at all. I love how that creates a paradox!

Awesome job!
