The void within

Forever flabbergasted
by fears and fantasies
 filling up
that faultless void within,
we watch it overflow with
nowhere for the excess
 existential expectations and
wasteful worries
 to escape or evolve into
which is nothing new we've seen this
through and through
become a typically predictable
 point of view
by way of trial and error,
we tiptoed through denial and terror
 only to take a step back
falling further off whatever path
 was meant to keep us on track..
to lure us into living and believing
there's nothing we lack
but we just love to let that lie linger
a lil longer
a lil louder
a lil prouder
 of prolonging
the pursuit of peace
and progressing into purposelessness..

Let's confess
it may be
more or less of a mess
but let's not obsess over
all these discreetly discussed demons destroying us collectively
from the inside out..
can't run
can't hide
can't laugh
can't cry..
nothing more
to try for
we're lost
so lost..
more so than we've ever felt before..

So may you bask in this
unbelongingness,
use it to uncover strengths
ultimately unknown
 or abuse it
and sink deeper into darkness
senselessly
infinitely
immersed in
intense isolation
designing your own damnation
with no destination in mind..

 An eternal excursion
through nightmares and dreams
dispersed through dimensions
unseen..
