Unadorned
October 27, 2014
Empty.
What is empty?
Empty is lifeless.
Is hopeless,
Unadorned.
Thoughts creep into my mind.
"End it.
Your life."
There will be nothing left to be hopeless,
Unadorned.
Similar thoughts stay with me in the aftermath.
"Slit them.
Your wrists."
Show them what it is to be hopeless,
Unadorned.
I fight it.
This emptiness.
My mind wrestles it, but why?
I am left hopeless,
Unadorned.

I used to feel this way. I didn't often think these things, but every now and then it crept in. I know that people everywhere understand and I hope that they can enjoy this.
