Swimming in a numbing sea
drowning in the emptiness
feeling nothing inside or out
a vacant, emotionless mind
being swallowed by a hole of nothingness
trapped in the blank space in my head

Climb out of the hole before it completely swallows you up. Arise little bird, and fly way up high.
I really liked this I wanted it to keep going. Well done
That was extremely relatable! Awesome poem!
So glad you have her.
This is so intense Rene. It is beautifully haunting! Excellent work as always!
You did great with the prompt!
Oh, I felt that resonating deeply. Ironic, since it's about feeling nothing, but damn if it's not true. Well done :)
