Welcome (Nothing To Gain)

By MidniteBlaze

Welcome to this place
Where all is left behind
Nothing you do means a damn thing
And you can only it back
Forced to look back at the nothing you will soon become

Stuck
Frozen in time
Confused
Vision distorted
Nothing you know is right
What you see
May not necessarily even be there
Nothing you know is right
Everything you think you know is wrong
Nothing is the same
Nothing at all
Not a goddamn thing

Mesmerized
Hypnotized
Change happens before your eyes
And you have little to no power to stop it
No control
You seek help
But none is around
And the ones you thought cared
The numbers are depressing
As you look upon the grand total of zero
This is the number of people who are truly here for you
In a time you really truly need help

    I gained a new poem I fell in love with. I think a lot of us have found ourselevs stuck in the rut, frozen inside, where all we can see is the past and what's happened to leave us stranded like we are. A good insightful poem. Thank you for posting!
