I chill in the sensation...
of feeling nothing
as
ghostly shapes dance upon the wall.
I smile as I recall
yesterdays tragic fall
because it was just a ripple
in the lake of life
it meant nothing at all.
To be like this
it's like being a zero,
inconsequential and never mesmerizing....
but never feeling no pain.

Living in this matrix of illusion
what you see can not be trusted
and what you are being told
depends on the talkers agenda,
Thoughts of being lost in all the confusion
slowly drip into our minds
liquidly overflowing
pulling us down to drown.

As I reboot
There's a strange sensation
to this new emotion
of being so null and void,
I just know
that it eases the pain
that emotional torture brings...
though the damage still lingers
being a zero
is Kool with me.

And I see what you did there with that last line (unless it's a typo). Those things will kill you!!!!

Great poem. Keepa writin'!

Certainly the title belies the content which measures innumerable.
Your words are still hanging in the air like a cloud of smoke.

Excellent for its fearless wielding of apathy.

I think I just tried to write something similar in content, but reading this I may have missed the mark.

I feel like I should get this, as one who ever so often kept an emotional shielding and shell. I was one who for many years , was stuck in a rut, did nothing lively, new, or spontaneous, and I was told by a friend I was basically just throwing my life away.

The poem I feel I want to be like that, but it could be my ego. So if you could message me and inform me, I'd appreciate it. :)
