Nothing

And...

I can slowly feel it

creeping in

and I dread this feeling

deep within

this stagnant,  

 heavy,

feeling

deep inside

from which

it seems

impossible to hide.

And it slowly consumes me,

Like a boa constrictor

Swallowing her prey

It is the dark rain cloud

That destroys your sunny day.

 

And I become

A porcelain doll

Staring blankly at the wall

With her lifeless eyes

Not caring if I live or die

I am a hamster

Running and running around that stupid wheel

Searching for something to make me feel

Hoping for something that still seems real

And I begin my journey

Down this endless road

Heading nowhere

Losing my hopes

Forgetting my cares

And I’m sinking quickly

In this quick sand

Reaching out

for a helping hand…

 

But it’s too late

And I become

Overcome

With this

Unbearable hopelessness

This

Unstoppable thoughtlessness

This constant

Nothingness

wishing I knew how to a put a stop to this

before I drift further out

into this abyss.

Moving at a quick pace, brings out the urgency and frantic feelings of this poem, very well done. The hopelessness, jumps out at the reader and you make us feel your emotions.

I really like the short lines & the fast-paced meter of this poem. The rhyming lines were amazing as well, because rhyme is fabulous when used correctly! Great job with the comparisons to a porcelein doll and a hamster. Very unique write!
