Hollow; a poem (tho/en)

🏠︎ Home

This one is unrelated to the events that happened to me about which you can read in the poem titled "Nothing". Here, I write about not succeeding according to my expectations, and having a bit of an existential dread. (I'm alright, don't worry)

i want to scream
but don't know how
the fire within
is nowhere to be found
mist covers dust
covers clovers
what even is there to do?

...resign and fall.

down shallow creeks
through the canyons of
an uncertain soul
by drought struck
through and through
from the screams
just whispers sound
is there an exit from it all?

...rise or stall.

i would have kept my pace
but my feet won't follow
through gravel roads
only dust and ash
over the air sprawls.

i've outgrown what i don't understand
twisted in a web of crates and barrels
they're hollow.
and hollow is the arctic soul
which eternally falls.
