Better than Nothing
Anger is a thing
I wish I had right now.
Any emotion
Would be great,
to feel right now.
To feel in my soul.
To feel deep inside.
Anything would be great,
then this emptiness inside.
I'm surrounded by love,
by people that care.
Yet,
I can not see past,
the fog that is there.
The fog that goes
around and around
in my head.
Spinning
I can't take much more.
I can't.
I just can't.
How do you do it?
How do you stop it?
Where do you go from here?
You look.
You find.
You search.
It's all empty.
Into the grass.
Into the soil, it wastes away
Down to nothing
Down to the core
It's empty inside
What do you do?
How do you feel?
Just to feel
anything right now
Would be the best
It's not meant to be.
These feelings.
Where hate
Would be better
Than nothing

I had a bit of a tizzle where nothing would have been better than my angered state, funny enough. But I can feel the other way, definitely have felt it many times... nicely done (musical read :))

Wonderfully written poem. When I read it I think of bouts of clinical depression Ive had in the past. Where I cannot literally move or get out of bed.
It's an emptiness where you just wait for time to slip buy but not any particular reason. Just so this time will speed by and existence will soon start to dissipate.
A horrible time in my Life. I could not talk to my wife or my two dearest young daughters. Not because I did not want to but because my brain was under attack from this terrible disease. Nothing at all was wrong in my Life. No lost job, no lost love, no tragedy nothing. Just came from nowhere. Much like Cancer comes from nowhere and attacks other organs of the body.
I distinctly remember my daughter coming in my room where I lay and talking about opening her own cupcake shop when she was an adult ( she was 8). All I could think was how horrible that I would not be around to see that. I just prayed that she would leave the room and let me suffer with this emptiness..
Like I said unless you have been head to head with this dreadful disease you have NO idea how it can take the strongest human being ( believe Iam a strong motherf@cker ;) ) and happiest human being and turn their life into literally "nothingness"
Thank you again for this poem @snook

A mixture of feelings from this poem, excellently written but you can't help feel the deeper emotions it portrays within. Stay safe @snook - you know there are plenty of us not far away if you need us 🤗

No emptiness anymore, no hate nor anger.
Nothingness is gone.

This reminds me of the line "Yes, I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all" by Lady Antebellum from their song "Need You Now."
You are very good to be writing, narrating and video editing at the same time. Do you usually do these all together?

Never heard of it but I live in quiet.
Thank You and yes, if a poem/song calls out to me to have a movie made to go with it I make one but not all are like that some just need to be written.
Thank you for stopping by!!

Here is the song that I was referring to. 😊
Do you have something like a criteria on when a song or poem will be better with a movie? Like, what calls for just writing and what calls for more?

sorry, no I do not...just just a feeling.....or sometimes time......but mostly a feeling. If I write a poem or story and it feels done then it's done......if not.......then I will do the voice over for it and see if I can find music........ sometimes that is all it needs to feel done.........but like this one it needed something more so went into an old game I played and shot the footage I wanted and then I just hope for the best to be honest.
sorry I can not be of more help......

You don't have to be sorry. I was just curious if there is specific determinant but if there is none then there is no harm done. I guess artists really have this instinct about their artworks. 😊

I love how you express your thoughts and emotions through poetry. Isn't it interesting how every morning you could have a different emotion and a different poem would be born out of it?

I not good in poem. But when i read your poem, I felt that sad, confused and anger mixture of emotion deep inside you. And my emotion also flow with your poem. Your poem easy to understand for people like me. Do you need to have emotion to start your poetry? Hope to read some of happy poetry of yours in future.

to be very honest I'm not either. most I do not understand.....though they sound pretty..... I just write what is in my heart and mind. Sometimes I get lucky and it all comes out sounding and reaching people. Then it is all worth it

The feeling of emptiness can be really crazy and sometimes we really just want to settle for any feeling but just not that emptiness. But the amazing thing is that that feeling of emptiness can be filled and with better, uplifting and fulfilling feelings. We just have to give it time(and also the right fuel).
You write really beautifully. Where these your feelings at the time of writing?

Hey @snook, I like what you wrote and how you recited it with the background piano music and video. Simple words with deep meaning. I feel that sometimes. You just become numb. Sometimes, it goes to not knowing what to feel. Thank you for writing it down and sharing it with us.
Did you build the game video? It is really cool.

I build that small part (word) in a video game called Rift. I use to play that long ago. It's been fun going back and recording video's from there to use here.

That is a nice touch for the video for sure :). You have a good weekend there. Do fill your time with things that make you happy like writing more poems, whatever works because you deserve to be happy.
