The Space Inside

by Jenna Bella Oldridge   Mar 27, 2012


Emotion eludes me in this numb state
In a trance of emptiness I am swallowed by the void
Lost inside the pits of this black hole
Lingering in the centre of the abyss

The nothingness is too omnipotent and controlling to fight
I remain unresponsive to stimuli
Every action is robotic and devoid of sentiment
A victim of hollowness

My eyes are deep blank vacant holes
Expressionless face as the petals of solitude wilt to loneliness
Pulled under by the raging suction of isolation's vacuum
Drowning slowly in spaces inside

    Jen, I am always amazed by what you write. I always feel a deep connection with your poetry because they speak to me. I always find myself relating to your words and emotions.

    This especially, I have felt like this many times and this poem is both heartbreaking and deep. The words you've used have really done justice to this poem, I think it flows brilliantly with your word choice and the imagery is great. I love the metaphors you've used as well.

    An awesome write Jen,

    Absolutely loved it!!!
