cell

white walls,

solid empty,

begging to be a canvas.

silent,

ominous,

echoing and reverberating

with the slowly dropping pins of my mind.

 

lights out,

i call and everything shifts to overdrive.

my pulse is through the roof,

the beating has moved to my ears

as if to drown out the silence.

 

i'm wondering when the panic stops.

 

i'm searching for any thing

that bears resemblance to that which is dreamt.

dreams so often confused,

misconstrued,

bent at will to provide us with the most pleasing ideas.

time will only pass,

its up to me,

to us,

to usher them

and

 

it

 

is

 

still

 

so

 

 

 

EMPTY
