Limbo.


Sitting staring and reflecting,

Reflecting on a time life had meaning

But now there is nothing

Because nothing is moving

Now I’m in Limbo

A deep state of stillness

Gradually losing the concept of time

I stay in a prison of my own design

This is where I kill time

This four walled prison called a screen

It burns bright nearly for all the hours of the day

Which makes my days waste away

Time begins to tick away at nothing

And I get closer to the void everyday

I know all this pain is for the time being

I find comfort knowing I suffer for the greater good anyway

When the deed is done

I will be let out

But for now everything is going south.
