Naturally Null

Re-visited null land today
barely able to type, holding on
can not speak, again.
It’s like my world
simply caves in on itself
leaves me prisoner, caught.

My body is functioning
i can drive it like a car
odd, how that works...eh?
Most frustrating thing,
inside they’re having a party
but outside is stoic, clouded.

Seems my head is caved in
emptiness smothered, buried
can not connect with voice.
Oddest sensation, this dying
world turns without a pause
people laugh, walk on by.

The Mrs. is trying to chat
seems she has been trying all day
i look at her in confusion.
She thinks i am angry
doesn’t realize, i am locked
captive of forced silence.

I know this too,  will pass
as always it has before
once welcomed, now tolerated.
Funny i always thought it was the drugs
a dozen, more or less, years put away
...re-visited null land today.  


    

the artist once upon...
        known as "bleeding"

This is a poem to think on.  There are those I know, who draw into themselves sometimes.
Hope it passes soon.  Joyce

This must be so difficult for you!  Also very lonely.  Hope the mood passes soon. It doesn't keep you from writing expressive poetry and that's a blessing!

The curse of the creative mind, I think. I hope you ascend to the mountain top soon. That abyss is the pits...
