I see nothing
speak nothing
hear nothing
My monkeys 3, in a state of NirvanaDwelling in nothingness,
Paralyzed by emptiness
Too tired to be angry
Could one be more sad?It feels painful just to breathe
yet I hold it in till I am pale
Probably for the torture
Probably to prove I still exist.I war against image and color
closing my eyes to lose sight
wanting them all to disappear atleast for a moment
those daily icons of lifeI want nothing!
not to breath!
not to speak!
Not to see!I push away all that is beautiful
From sight,
to sound,
to wordTurning off my radio,
Dismissing friends,
I become silence itself,I want nothing
… Not even to feel.
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.- Carl Jung

Today I dont feel like doing anything, just like FK.
lol!
Snap out of it coz she wasn’t feeling that way a while back for good reasons
π
Much better now though π
So wonderful and sad! I especially liked “I war against image and color closing my eyes to lose sight”. Well done!
Thanks π
I’m sure you’re feeling much better now. Feelings are sensations that our senses are sensitive to. Beyond the realm of senses is perfection. I wonder whether happiness or sadness is the ideal feeling, but the ideal may just be nothing. We never can tell what lies beyond our comprehension, but we can ponder around them to keep our minds entertained. Very emotional piece you put up here! I won’t want to mingle with poignancy though. Cheer up!
O I am! this was a form of release. The worst is over… Thanks T.C π
You know, I have felt that way sometime. It does help to write the feelings out honestly, as you have. It takes a strong person to share words of this depth. That says something for you!
I’m glad you see it that way Mary.. I was scared initially.
Didn’t want you all to think me weird π .. but I feel so much better after doing this.
Thanks! π
Lots of truth here and you deliver it with a gut punch, very nicely done!
Honestly, these words came right from my soul.. was just worried that it would scar readers! π
Thanks for stopping by Anna π

π

Awwww thank you! π
π
You’re very welcome my most gracious one.
felt….sometimes we just need to be alone and breathe…these are the moments i retreat to the woods to let it seep from me with each step…..nice grit ma’am…let it out
Thanks Brian! π .. so did you see me whistling in the crowd after all? π
This really describes a kind of depression – when even the sadness is a bit apathetic. Don’t see it lasting long! k.
Not at all… its all gone now! only hope concerning matters resides here now π
Thanks!
I’m Shooked by your lines. Sadness is a very heavy topic to write a poem about. You did it Very well. I’m glad I read this.
O thank you… was in the moment when i wrote this
I hope writing about it helps you as much as it helps me.
Very much so! Thanks π
This is so true. How can we ever know what happiness is, unless we also know sadness too. Sometimes we do need our time completely alone, just to …be and nothing more. So hard to do.
Lovely poem.
It helps to write about our emotions, silence and pain ~ Thanks for sharing this ~
Thanks you! π
I become silence itself…i have days like this as well where i hide from the world…and sometimes it’s good and then connect again after a bit..
Comes with being human I guess. Thanks Claudia π
The melancholy is palpable in this piece. You’ve captured its essence.
Thank you Kim Nelson! π
”Poignant” shouts loud…it needed to.
I sure did Capt’n! π
So bleak, but I can feel the catharsis within the poem. The silence bit really rings true for me – I have had many days where just a little peace & quiet would fix everything. I really like the way you worded this: “My monkeys 3, in a state of Nirvana”.
Thanks! Glad you liked it π
“I war against image and color
closing my eyes to lose sight” love that! and I love how you mentioned the the three monkeys.
Thanks for the compliment; I appreciate your stopping by π
Cheers!
So much pain in this, festi. I’m sending you cyber hugs. You are right, though–darkness is part of our human existence.
Awww, thank you Victoria π … I’m over that dark patch now, but thank you so much for those hugs….. Hugging back! π
I was moved by your poem and its message. I thank Scott for directing me to your site as you are a beautiful talent…with a a special gift that touches the mind, heart, and soul! Your poem stimulates my mind, though sad, it is so very real, and that is what life always is, so very real!
Thank you so very much for your comment … I am glad you feel that way about my work.
The poem “poignant” was written as a sort of release. Most of my writing however comes from… imagination, of which I thank God (Wouldn’t want to be an alien abductee for instance) π
Thank you once again and please, don’t be a stranger.
Cheers and a very blessed weekend to you! π
This is beautiful. To many it may come off as sad and depressing but being an artists we know these feelings all too well and have come to accept them just as we accept the happiness! Love!
Your comment is on point sister! It all comes with the territory! π
Cheers! π
As a poet you sometimes need to travel the depths of your emotions and make it back in time. You are a true poet. π
Thank you π
