Dormant
Asleep
Nothing
Any adjective would do
Empty
Not a box
But a huge black abyss
Perhaps the parts
Of the universe
That were eaten up
Assumed dead
An endless energy
Vantablack inside
Asleep
Or maybe screaming in cycles
I do not know for sure
Can we be in both states?

Author's Note
Panic attacks leave you breathless even though you breathe and you scream in your head but there's no words to be said and maybe a small squeek will escape a suffocated cheek... but when memory awakens, was is ever truly at rest? anyways. yeah, shit sucks.

The confusion between knowing your safe or at least okay is disorienting. It takes courage to voice it in words.

Irrational fear, the total loss of control and breath, the feeling of drowning whilst sitting quite safe in y wheelchair, not just paralyzed from the chest down, but totally frozen
Great piece

I get this image of being severed from the tether once attaching me to my spacecraft...silently, hopelessly floating in deep space. "Vantablack" what a great word that I just had to looked up BTW 😉 I relate to the first stanza because of late I've had difficulty sleeping and I am left with no more adjectives to describe that helplessness. Thanks for the think❣❣

Aw thank you so much! I love that you connected so well with this but also, sorry for your predicament. Sleeplessness and unrest have to be a cruel form of torture :(

Thank you for the advice, love. A lot of the times sleep is hard to conjure even on good, relaxing days. I could clear my mind of everything and still lay in the dark, wide awake. But I will try cleaning thoroughly so I could have peace of mind and have less clutter around me. Ill give you the week ;)
