Falling in the vacuum,

Like the pitch behind closed lids.

Seeking for a thread,

Anything to stop the fall.

Feeling nothing against the skin,

Pressure no longer existent.

Hearing only one’s breath,

Silence in its purest form.

Accepting the truth,

Struggles and panic ceased.

Absorbing the emptiness,

I become the Void.

Sheltered my whole childhood,

Hidden from the world,

From the harsh wild.

Isolation once cherished,

But security slowly suffocated,

Minutes turned into hours.

Sturdier I grew,

Harder I fought,

Against the confines I once called home.

The taste of freedom,

The forbidden desire,

The burning urge.

A shove.

A slice.

A scoop.

Light engulfed me,

Joy burst free,

Freedom a reality.

Truth then materialised,

My destiny revealed,

Time to be roasted.

The End.

Everyone says you're closed off

Distant

Quiet

They didn't look into those eyes

Attentively

Daily

They dilate when you're captivated

Surprised

Energetic

They darken when you're vexed

Bored

Nonchalant

They brighten when you're interested

Wicked

Triumphed

Your countenance may holistically say nothing

But I notice your minuscule changes

The nature that you can't hide

I know I am living on borrowed time. Every second passes by. Still I couldn’t figure out why

I am still stuck

in the void that consumes my plans

My dreams

My sleepless nights

My denial could no longer persist

Time to confront my worst nightmare - me.

I'm Sorry.

I forgot

I cannot

I did not

I could not

I missed

I messed

I misled

I mistook

I am treacherous

Crown me cancerous

To lungs I am injurious

Life is capricious

and I know you're curious

So, why not be adventurous?

A plump, red succulent

If the season so benevolent

Let me take a crunch

Before my blood's last rush

Regardless of the classic sway

It may keep the reaper away

Me: Oh no...
