Vacant

Vacant

The crushing weight of this blank void.
Drowning in a sea of black.
These emotions to avoid.
But they keep coming back.

Outsiders only see the smiles,
Not the slits they hide.
Each fake grin spreads the trials.
The crushing weight grows inside.

Crashing waves of ocean’s maw.
Unending in their motion.
With gnashing teeth, it will gnaw
‘Till death becomes a notion.

Like a warrior’s battle roar,
It thunders down
On mentality’s door.
Fighting to win logic’s crown.
