Nothingness

By Ekoe-Angelee

I can’t hear my voice anymore, I wonder why and how,
Complete and utter silence wraps around me,
Every sound in the world is gone now,
Feels like bones crushing fiercely.
 
Slipping into the abyss,
Falling through the vacuous hole,
Darkness surrounds me into the utter nothingness,
Slipping away, now lost, now gone soul.
 
The silence makes me want to scream,
The utter apprehension of my anonymity,
Restoration is what I want to redeem,
This life of mine is utter blaspheme.
 
Body limp, face numb,
Sound gone, sight wrong,
Thoughts fuzzy, found dumb,
Sadness reins lifelong.
 
Pull up now move on,
Grasp reality with a tight grip,
Comprehension must be strong,
Falling slowly, do not slip.
 
Up again, sound and all,
Press rewind, do it over again,
Keeping grasp even to crawl,
Repeat will be necessary from now until then.

    Wow, I really loved this. Could feel every bit of it, could feel the deep sadness, feels like this poem has more of what I could percieve. It takes a long time to see one poem that speaks so much to me.
