Song of the Void
Thoughts flash as I stare into the blackness.
I spin around,
Clutching my head,
As I try to make sense of the world.
There's a reason I stay apart from others.
My thought's consume me -
Turn me 'to a beast
That snarls at the darkness
And screams into the void.
Then I retreat.
Recede into the shadows and quiet
And sleep 'till I forget.
Happiness comes from forgetting,
And sadness comes after.
Eventually, the sadness catches
And turns everything to black numbness.
I go swirling through this void,
My anchors my friends
And the thoughts my death will hurt them.
Sometime,
That void will catch me,
But, 'till then,
I go with song.
