I answered;
the scariest part
is not the feeling of loneliness
o the darkness that fills you
despite the looming pain of emptiness
the scariest part
is the realization
that you have lost yourself
completely
sinking as you lay awake at 2am
because you lost the ability to sleep
and you can’t even cry
because you don’t even care

That’s beautiful dude. Do you write poetry often?
Thanks! I don’t write poetry as often as i’d like to. I actually wrote this in the middle of class 🙂
Productive! Lol. You should try to get published. Every now and then I try. I did once, through a competition. No money, the book cost me $50 but it’s kinda cool.
Oh that’s nice! People say that I should sell or publish my art but I refuse c:
Making art with the intent of profit I think greatly devalues the art. On the other hand, if your art touches somebody in a way they’re willing to pay for it, that’s awesome.
Had to read this a few times before I got it, but it’s so true: it’s scarier to lose yourself than to be alone. Because for some reason you need yourself to truly be there with others.
I am particularly fond of the last 2 lines. For me that’s the true scare point. When you start numbing it all out. I haven’t really “felt” sadness since April
True. Wow. April last year? Duh, I guess of course April last yeah. That is some repression, by the sounds of it…
This really hit me. This is really nice.
Muspelhem- yeah, April my dad died. He’s basically the only one who ever understood me. Once I suppressed the sad, it’s not the loneliness or emptiness that kills, it’s the blank numbness.
Fuck man…..
Right in the feels.
Very profound! I look forward to reading more
