Mocking Emptiness
The words I utter
hollow ash filled smoke
haloing my head
with a mocking tone
this soul disconnected
try another number
I whisper to the powers that be
that smother my being
telling me secrets
I don't wish to hear
a hellish concerto
I sing the song
of the oppressed
depression playing me
like a cello
deep melancholy notes
dancing my part
in this thing we call life
all consuming passion one day
riding the manic waves
crashing against the breakers
skull cracking, bones crushing
heart breaking
then blank nothing
feelings foreign inanimate objects
that I place on the shelf
occasionally dusting off
so I can look at them with wonder

Life becomes a karaoke - sentimental words sung against a formulaic backing track - all of it meaning fuck all:
"Dancing my part in this thing we call life"
"Soul disconnected"
communicate the dissonance where we wonder as we talk/do who the fuck said/did that
Love the final verse

^^^ a perfect ending to this wonderful ink! Xo

Lovely Crim, poignant, thought provoking and yes, a perfect ending. Amazing talent! Never think you're less.
Melancholy is a bitch. Karma is its cousin.

Much depth in this.
Live life fiercely with raging passion, a lioness of the fire dance. Pained by moments of what is to be mental breaks, thus thy mind never sleeps, your conscience awake never letting you sleep.
