Heartless

I'm not really sure

What turned my heart cold.

At some point pure,

Now it's just dusty and old.

Many times perplexed

But mostly it feels jaded.

From one kick to the next

My spirit goes unpersuaded.

A numb hollow spot

In the center of my being.

But, more often than not,

This void is somewhat freeing.

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

It's a short thing. I was trying to put into words what I feel right now.

But, more often the (than) not

I can totally relate to this piece as I have been in a bit of a soul searching meaning of life type of funk lately. Mostly mine is due to my hatred of my job and feeling creatively stifled by it. I am needing a change and just not sure how to go about it. I feel quite lost I must say.

Yes, I can also relate to the feelings you express here. Sometimes there is sanctity in such solitude as you allude to in the ending. Nice poem. Thank you for sharing.
Light,

Enjoyed reading what you're feeling right now, and I must applaud that ending. Kinda matches the feeling of something I put up recently.
