Nobody 6d
every notification on my phone
telling me something is going wrong
another corrupted plan succeeding
another million people gone...

every news story in the morning
telling me I'm going to die
another failed hope
another savior plan gone awry...

every word out of your mouth
telling me I'm a worthless *******
it was so long ago
but the forest fire is still lit...

every word of yours i remember
keeps repeating in my head
telling me i'm useless
and that i'd be better off dead...

What do you not know?
I don't know.
Who are the people you don't know?
I don't know.
I don't know what I don't know, okay?
I don't know about everything, or anything.
I don't know what to write about to make it "original"
I don't know how to get a tight knot out.
I don't know what's hidden behind the curtain sometimes.
I just
Don't
Know...
It's okay to not know sometimes, right?

there's nothing
it is a void of space
the only reminder of life
is the breath that passes your face

there's silence
it is an echoing of tears
the memories and happiness
is the forgotten love, it sneers

there's pain
it is a drowning fate
the lost and the goodbyes
is the relationship that is too late

there's gravity...
it holds infinity here
the small speck of life
is the equation that we hear

— The End —
