Vicissitude of a Teen
by Zamzam Ahmed
—————————————
I lay ever so still in this void
Of darkness
Unmoving, unmotivated, unkind
Watching as my strife leaves
All the things I once had the ability to control
To hold
Gone
One step forward, a million paces back
An endless cycle, I somehow never combat
Pain
Does not exist
Joy
Had no place here
It is just I
Numb
Unaware and unchanged
Forever my endeavour
