In Nothingness Absolution

Despair is the gravity of the mind,

The leaden weight upon Einstein’s sheet

It drags me down into the pit where the dragon sleeps

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

The hungry one who gnaws and bites and takes takes takes

Until just the shell remains.

Staring out at a world I once thought bright

For what was lighting it was me.

There is no light now; there are just stolen dreams.

Memories of what could have been

Within the box not even hope remains.

It should not be so but it gladdens me.

No goals, no plan, no expectations

In aimlessness I shall not fail.

Nought to try; it should hurt and yet

Oblivion is a tranquil water.

To float forever upon it a peace.
