Expansive Nothingness Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Living now as a stranger in this life, no voice to make a sound,
lost, alone, wanting nothing to do with this earthly life, find-
ing that it holds nothing right now.

People trying to convince me that these feelings will not last,
but they don't know how I feel deep inside my being, doing what
I can, letting self just BE for I have no interest in life.

No longer knowing who I am without my love, looking, searching
for answers, finding none, striving to live in a vacuum with
nothing to look forward to.

A vast expanse of nothingness, I'm drifting in the center of
it, nothing can allure or entice me, for my mind is numb, no
love here with me, where am I to go now that I'm alone?
