I saw nothing… I felt nothing. These thoughts were ahead of their time— My mind and body were only six. Unsure of the weight those thoughts would cause, At a time I could not comprehend. The concepts those thoughts brought to my head; Surely they’ll pass by and let me rest. I saw nothing… I felt nothing. My past and future are the same place in time. Nothingness revealed itself, I was six. Panicked in place that forsaken night. Those thoughts raced while I paced. Assuring myself what I was facing, Would surely pass… and let me rest. I saw nothing… I felt nothing. I closed my eyes and saw my world end, Felt cold and hollow— as if my blood had drained. My universe collapsed while I was six, To experience nothing at an young age. The numbness felt close to death. Surely it would pass… and let me rest. I saw nothing… I felt nothing. The cost of knowing abstraction too soon. My life meant nothing to time at six. Death felt certain, even then. My mind broke that day— my reality changed. I was never the same, because it all changed. But surely… surely these thoughts would let me rest.

The Night I Change
I saw nothing… I felt nothing. These thoughts were ahead of their time— My mind and body were only six. Unsure of the weight those thoughts would cause, At a time I could not comprehend. The concepts those thoughts brought to my head; Surely they’ll pass by and let me rest. I saw nothing… I felt nothing. My past and future are the same place in time. Nothingness revealed itself, I was six. Panicked in place that forsaken night. Those thoughts raced while I paced. Assuring myself what I was facing, Would surely pass… and let me rest. I saw nothing… I felt nothing. I closed my eyes and saw my world end, Felt cold and hollow— as if my blood had drained. My universe collapsed while I was six, To experience nothing at an young age. The numbness felt close to death. Surely it would pass… and let me rest. I saw nothing… I felt nothing. The cost of knowing abstraction too soon. My life meant nothing to time at six. Death felt certain, even then. My mind broke that day— my reality changed. I was never the same, because it all changed. But surely… surely these thoughts would let me rest.
