Abyss

ABYSS

Blankness
Darkness
Oh blissful peace
Waits
For me
Floating
Nothing
Oh to be free
want it want it
Forces opposing
I’m longing
Want to go
Can’t
Want
Can’t
I want
So badly
An Abyss
No going back
Heart beats
Ticking
Counting?
A fateful Step
Determines
Defines
Can I?
I long
I crave
I want
Just to be free
I-
I-

Can I?
Should I?

Darkness envelops me
Floating freely
Blankness
Nothingness
Not a Care
Not a Pain
Not an Ache

Wanting
Wanting
Wanting

An Abyss
Awaits me

Everglow.

Re: Abyss

I went ahead and moved this into self expression because it seems to fit better there as a poem. :)

This is really well written and I love the use of short snappy lines. It's very emotional. I hope you are okay and know that if you ever need to talk, you can always reach out here.

Ennui.

This is my favorite part:

Can I?
Should I?

Re: Abyss

Hm, good one!
But too short phrases for me. I felt something like I'm caged.

I love how each line is short.

I really love the slight rhyme to this part:

Quote:

Oh blissful peace
Waits
For me
Floating
Nothing
Oh to be free

Re: Abyss

I really thought this was a wonderful piece. You conveyed heavy emotions with such few words.

Stay strong. :hug: <3

There is nothing wrong with the way people write. Please don't ever criticize someone's writing style.

Sometimes shorter is better. These words are heavy and a whole lot doesn't need to be said.

Please, reconsider before you put words like this out there, because not only they hurt the original author; but they hurt those who might be lurking/browsing anonymously. Or other users on here who might be debating sharing their creative words on here but are afraid of receiving comments just like yours.

Re: Abyss

thanks stardust!
thank God I'm in a better place now than when I wrote this poem a few months ago (I only posted now). But I'll never forget that feeling and those emotions. even now, they still sometimes come up.
Astro04- the caged feeling is sort of the point. when I was suicidal I felt caged.
Caged by my feelings, caged by others. Just trapped...Its hard to put to words...
good idea for another poem :)
