In the void, my gaze drifts aimlessly,
As my pupils twirl in a silent dance,
My sight fixed, yet visionless.
A torrent of thoughts floods my mind,
A labyrinth I yearn to escape,
An unending quest to find my path,
But the roots of confusion delve deeper, spreading wider.
My heart flutters in its cage,
A beat I hear, but the message eludes me,
In this moment, my heart alone functions,
While even the brain succumbs to bewilderment.
Here I stand, rooted in this space,
An eternity it seems, no end in sight,
So I continue to stare, resigned,
No longer attempting to break free.
Fatigue engulfs me,
Weariness takes hold,
Confusion echoes relentlessly,
These words reverberate in my ears.
I find solace in this blank expanse,
How long will I linger here? Perhaps ages,
In the company of my own boredom,
Perhaps the supernatural holds a better answer.
For now, I will continue to gaze,
Into the void,
Although everything surrounds me,
Who knows, maybe something liberating will transpire.
Who knows!
