That of which i speak...

It is the emptiest type of feeling

That of which I speak

For this is the emotion

That breaks the strong

And ignores the meek

Not the type of feeling

Of which you can ignore

Nor the type of Glory

Of which you can explore

Without the consequence

Of a thousand bits of shattered glass

This murderer leaves no evidence

And its allure none can surpass

Its name is truly irrelevant

Its nature is unknown

But when you get right down to it

It exists in every home

Label it once, and shame on you

For labels are for the known

Label it twice and it’s a shame what it will do

And you won’t be fool enough to label it thrice

But should you stumble upon it

Young innocent and unafraid

Nurture it as your only child

And you may live with it unscathed

Should you however try to tame it

Try to tell it what to do

You’ll find its lovely little thorns

Tearing right into you

And upon releasing it

As you nurse your injured wound

You’ll find others having a fit

Over the horror you’ve left untuned….

Author's Note

Its a sort of riddle i guess, a poetic riddle of the opinion. Tell me what feeling you think this is. Tell me why you think its a certain emotion.

Of course in the piece you spoke of labels... but lately that's all the world seems to be... Still though I won't mention what emotion I believe it could be. You really do get your point across in this, no matter how people view it. Very nice.

A piece that leaves the readers with a lot of questions. I like this Piece. Thanks for sharing.

the emotion i felt was emptiness like you said.... ive been feeling something is.... gone lately, its very annoying but something you just gotta get by i guess

[KatiePie]

I love it, you used sensory details to really pull the reader out of this world. It's a very enjoyable read ^-^
Good write

[Senseless whatever]

Beautiful write. Fantastic imagery and mystique. Yes I think it's a certain emotion but I shall not name it here "shame on you For labels are for the known" Tried to trick me, see i can read :)
