The Absence of Thought is Painful

The absence of thought is painful.

This negative effect has inadvertently consumed you.

Abruptly leaving you to linger in a personified void.

You tremor at the idea of knowledge being put to action.

Ponders turn to pain.

Suddenly the presence of absolute silence has departed.

What you thought was nothing, was replaced with your own ability to express.

You have the authorization to depict.

Overcoming the mental mountains that are all but tangible yet have a pungent lasting impression.

These gusts of negativity have overstayed their unwelcomed implosion.

Time is only how you interpret it.

Disconnect from darkness and ascend your head towards perseverance.

Make something beautiful.

Outlier

It’s just the house settling;

through the window, evergreen.

Tell me why, you ask to leave?

Left alone, begin to grieve,

creaking doors and forgotten memories,

cold hallways, I face my enemies.

Another day leads to a blossom.

My friends call, and still I’ve lost them.
