Empty. That’s how I feel. Or don’t feel, because there’s nothing to be felt. My eyes lost their sparkle and my lips haven’t smiled in such a long time.
It’s spring and all of the nature is waking up from its long winter slumber. But not me. I’m looking at the trees and flowers which are about to bloom, and birds coming back home from their long journey. I’m looking, but I can’t see a thing. I don’t see their beauty. I don’t see anything special about them. And I bet that if I picked a flower I wouldn’t be able to appreciate its smell. I wouldn’t even care about the fact that I had just killed an innocent plant, and I would just toss it by the road, leaving it to rot.
Empty. My body. My head. My thoughts are long gone and my mind is silent. I stopped thinking about my life, about my friends, about things that make me happy. If there even is such a thing that make me feel happiness again. There is only void that needs to be filled, but I’ve got nothing to fill it up with.
Empty. My coffee cup also needs to be refilled. Maybe I can use that hot liquid to spill all over my face and wake myself up along with my emotions. I don’t know if they’re asleep or simply gone for good. But I don’t seem to be phased by either of those choices.
Empty. My lungs now too. I can’t breathe. All the air is gone and my whole body is numb. But I don’t feel the need to fight it. I surrender myself completely to whatever is controlling me right now without a second thought.
It’s spring and all of the nature is waking up from its long winter slumber. But not me. I’m falling asleep. And the one feeling that comes back to me in this very moment is hope. Hope that I will not wake up.
