Void You scream into the Void
All the pain never said
But you scream it all the same
Your voice scares the Void
Your darkness
Your fears
Your haunted memories
And so the Void screams back
What does it say?
Does it repeat
The never-ending demands
From work
From family
From society
Everybody always wanting something
Wanting more than you have to give
And how nothing is ever, ever
Good enough
Or
Does the Void echo
Your own inner
Thoughts shouting
Failure
Inadequacy
Ugliness
Burden
And how you are never, ever
Good enough
Together
You and the Void
Scream in
Understanding unison
A friendship of the
Darkest kind
And you both
Breathe easier
Knowing you are
Not alone
