I want to feel blank,
Think about nothing for a moment,
For as I put this down on paper
I can see thoughts rush up in my head.

I want to feel numb to the world,
Know about nothing for some time,
For as I put this down on paper
I can sense my knowledge make me blind.

I want to go into oblivion,
Conscious about nothing at a point,
For as I put this down on paper,
I can detect my weaknesses cling to me.

I want to forget every past haunting me,
I want to erase every impression on my brain,
for as I put this down on paper,
I can feel old stories pricking my conscience.

I want to find a peace of mind,
I want to embrace emptiness,
Surely, however impossible it is,
For as I put this down on paper,
I realize that I'm a poetess.
