Wishing for the Void

Posted on June 21, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

Bring me to the void
Where noises cease to be
Wrap me in a womb
Made of silence and numbness
Take my ears and eyes
And dash them upon the ground
Leave me with my thoughts
As I listen to my heart and mind
Desperately trying to speak
Through the chaos
That fills my daily life

'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

    I feel this way at least once a day. May be my anxiety disorder.
