Nothing Poem by Anuradha Bhattacharyya

In a void,
Stranded for a short while,
The space, the environment chokes you.

You fear the limit,
The possibility of containing nothing,
Screaming to be released from the trap.

It must be terrifying -
The fear of the uncontrollable, the unknown
The lack of a prospect.

It is possible to demonstrate
How a person is driven crazy
With the fear of nothing.

It will never go
Unless there is acceptance
After which progress can be made.
