A Void: Emotion

August 5, 2017

In this here and now I don't hear it now A void like the plague Has swept through And so cleared out The sound of laughter Crying Without a doubt is gone No memory lane To keep me on track I keep rolling back Trolling, getting my goat And giving me flak Burning the bridges Gruff ridges hide how The feel is unreal And so I am now Ready to give up The ghost of the past Haunting my gravely Ill brain Distracting me from My route to remain Inanity sums up In sane terms again The pulse of my still Beating heart

Your Poem's Voice

Personal loss and mental struggle with abstract philosophical questioning about existence.

Dense accumulation of psychological imagery, introspection, and existential concern throughout.

Heavily negative: loss, void, haunting, giving up, burning bridges, suffering permeate.

Turbulent internal agitation—rolling, trolling, burning—but contained within introspective voice.

Approximately 27 lines; falls within 16-30 range.

Rich metaphors: void like plague, ghost of past, burning bridges, gravely brain.

Pure lyric internal monologue; first-person introspection without narrative or dramatic persona shift.
