\n

My new normal is I\u2019m broken
\nOnce upon a time I could have been fixed
\nBut now I sit alone, my thoughts unspoken
\nAt the emptiness before me, I stare transfixed<\/p>\n\n

Nothing remains to keep me going
\nNo hope, no goal, no one
\nNo guiding light that keeps on glowing
\nUp above there is no sun.<\/p>\n\n

Can I pretend my way to happiness?
\nImagine a world where I matter?
\nThe gulf inside is cavernous
\nAny attempt breaks and shatters.<\/p> \n\n

After everything in my head is said
\nI\u2019m ready to be … <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I’ll let you fill in the rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I vacillate between being broken and feeling ok with it to being crushed under the weight of that realization. This poem is about the latter. The conclusion that I’m broken isn’t in question, I definitely am; I don’t really believe in anything anymore, or anyone for that matter. No guiding light that gives my life purpose. Can I rebel and come up with my own purpose, even if the universe has none to give? Can I laugh at universe instead of the other way around?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll see. I’ll keep writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
