Words that remind me of who I am, a truth that’s stuck in place, frozen in the space time.

Up there in the sky, a pedestal designated for every truth that ever exists. There it lays, there it shines. I gaze upon it while it’s blue light reflects on my skin. Glowing ever so brightly and ever so beautifully, it mocks me.

Depictions of my true self, the deprived hollow soul that craves to have its chest filled.

While my gaze is fixated on the words that represent me, I failed to take note of the millions of brethren beside me.

Millions diverging and flowing beyond the sun and the moon, as far as your eyes see we are together, we are the same, we are hollow.

All of us gazing at the truth unable to fathom it’s meaning.

“ Why am I like this ?” we chant.

Memories from the past fluctuate in my mind as I witness that blue light shine earnestly. Failures and shattered hopes like thorns wrap around my skin. Those vines, as much as they hurt but they filled the hole inside of me, if for a mere second.

Like a addict I crave it, I crave to be full again.

Yet the truth mocks me, shining even brighter upon my soul burning it further and further.

The more I move forward, the more I try to understand the truth, the more I burn.

In the millennia I spent walking with my brethren I missed to witness our numbers.

The world is so big and so large yet why is it only us that have to walk this road ?

I thought we were the unlucky, the abandoned, the forsaken from god’s benevolence.

Yet the more I approach the bright truth the more I understand what truly happened.

Countless days, months, yet years pass. And I get closer and closer to the truth.

Feelings are complicated, I want to know it, I want to understand, I want to fill it, this whole in my chest.

Yet I’m scared...

What if the answer wasn’t something I want to hear ? What if after all....what if I’ll always stay hollow ?

Finally I reached it. standing In front of it, the truth I so tirelessly sought, right there in front of me.

Standing close to the stone tablet I gaze upon the truth.

The bright blue ray reveals its truth to me, my eyes burning from how strong the light is.

Yet in the end the truth was nothing but a mirror.

My eyes still hurting from the bright light, it draws its gaze upon the mirror only for me to understand why I’ve been here for so long.

The scene I witnessed In front of me was a scene I should have expected a long time ago.

There stands before me, a being who is hollow on the inside.

No. Hollow isn’t a proper description.

I walked and walked seeking the truth, for a millennia I tirelessly worked to fill the void within my chest. Yet I failed to notice that whenever I took a step forward, the blue light of truth burned away my soul.

Now gazing back at me was myself, now a mere thought, a being that had long been deceased.

Now stands before me nothing but a soul, that’s funny enough still has a black spot in the place of its heart.

A smile draws upon my face as I witness the cruel comedic truth of the decisions I’ve taken while wasting all my life working up to get here.

A thought crossed my fading consciousness as it faded away into the abyss.

“was this truly....worth it ?”

After that moment I faded away, helplessly reaching out from the bleak place I was in, having the black dot in my chest take all over my soul.

In my ears now rang words that remind me of who I am, a truth that’s stuck in place, frozen in the space time.

I opened my eyes and i realised that I’m nothing but a hollow being

In front of me is a a pedestal designated for every truth that ever exists.

And my goal is to seek out the truth and fill the gap in my chest.
