Empty
My mind is empty.
Empty of thought.
Empty of meaning.
My mind is an endless abyss.
A place where creativity goes to die.
A place ruled by pretension.
A place ruled by pessimism and doubt.
My mind is a silent killer.
You never notice it till you're dead.
My eyes are injured vessels.
Blind to truth and reality.
My ears are a mute button.
Cutting out all sound in the hopes of hearing meaning.
My voice is like a record.
Always the same thing with no variation.
I call myself a writer.
I call myself a visionary.
I call myself an artist.
I call myself a human.
I call myself important.
I call myself meaningful.
I call myself impactful.
I call myself a liar.
Only one of those things is trueright.
On a mission to feel.
To feel happiness.
To feel joy.
To feel love.
I’m on a dead end road.
No one sees the dead end except me but I know it’s there.
I think people just like to see others crash their cars.
Some call me a cynic.
Others call me a realist.
But I have a name.
I have a name that people cringe at.
I have a name that people try to hide from.
I have a name that once you know you are never the same.
I am fear.
And I am a god.
You are powerless at my hands.
So don’t even try.
