i am tired of the sound of my own thoughts
i am tired of the sound of my own voice
creating lesions
across white matter
across my vocal chords
i learn the art of mute
the art of emptiness filled.
and i am filled with nothingness
a complex structure
of everything that i do not know
and will not know
for in the void, i am but
person
hollow.
And in my hollowness
i fill up to a brim
of unidentified emotions
incomprehensible being
and a fullness unknown to my
void-less life.
In this vacuum is clarity
crystalline structures of carbon
bonding like a diamond:
Strength and sharpness
dominating my soul
embracing my infant sanity
For now i rest my thoughts
I rest my voice
and welcome the emptiness
that leaves me bare naked
breakable and fragile---
a wholeness attainable
in the sound of silence
say what you think.

A write that has strong felt emotion coming through the words Iphios
A write that was easy to fll deep into..I can relate due to mental illness part of me about feeling so tired of my own thoughts and voice.
Feeling empty sucks. and well if its how your feeling well
and I hope it goes away
This was to be a well written piece, a relatable subject that you went deep with..one suggestion is capitalize the I's..otherwise perfect

thank you cindy for your generous comment. Knowing that a poem is relatable, something that a person can own to him/herself is a good thing. I'm glad it worked for you. Thanks for the concern, and surely it will go away.
