Written from a prompt given to me.

Blank

Like a clean piece of paper

Void

Like the space between planets

Where no stars abide

Nothing

Not a drop of feeling

An ocean of empty

The darkness of the deep

Has more volume than the empty weight

squashing my fragile frame

How can the sky cry

and ice melt from the hatred of the sun

While I cannot feel

The smallest atom of envy?

To be happy. sad. angry.

Anything

but this void

A heavy burden

of nothing

That I don't want to carry
