I love how you found posisitivity in a negative situation, awesome write, nominated!!!!

Your poetry is TOO good! No, but seriously, "as if the world lacks space for people like you" to acknowledging that it could actually be "the space for you to grow". I'm struggling with how to comment! The void, the dark abyss, we feel we are too attached to. That it's too much of our identity, no matter how much we push forward. This whole piece reminded me of self-sabotaging, (especially with the reminder of the void being something this person created). Believing that the past is only an indicator of the future, and nothing else. Creating a distance out of fear of taking up space and remaining firmly somewhere.

"are you looking for continuity in
words you failed to pronounce?"

^ I don't quite know the meaning of these two lines. The words someone failed to pronounce, I keep going back to that. I think of being unable to promise something to someone. Or of denying a truth so you instead bury it. For me personally, a person lost their trust in me because I could not make a commitment to both them and myself. And I didn't think about how it would impact things later on. Then my thoughts spiraled and I believed I was not trying enough, or that I wouldn't BE enough, since people around me have clear goals and something they are continually wanting to work toward.

That's all my thoughts but I always, always, always enjoy reading your poetry!

I in love with the title. This is an awesome piece. Gravity (in figurative and literal sense) can be weighing down but is actually becoming the force for your trajectory going to a much better place and a lighter space. Added to favorites!
