That's not my name
A freeform poem
That's not my name
A pocket of emptiness unfolds in my soul.
My core shifts collapsing into the hole, rearranging my topography.
Dissonance vibrates through my consciousness.
A war is beginning.
Seismic waves are pounding the surface.
The plates of my person are colliding.
My foundation is buckling.
Something is breaking inside of me. I am afraid.
...
...
Fault lines shoot through my soul.
I am cracking.
The broken pieces of me grind past each other.
My edges no longer line up.
Shockwaves echo through me.
A deep pain reverberates in the crystal structure of my bones.
Can you see that I am breaking?
...
...
I unfasten into a chasm.
The universe shudders at my unraveling.
The aftershocks reduce me to nothing.
Everything I am has collapsed.
All of me is fading into nothing.
I am being pulled into the blackness of myself.
Don’t let me slip away into the emptiness.
...
...
There is darkness. Nothing is left.
But I am still in here. Screaming.
Can’t you hear me?
I can’t find myself in the fractured reflection.
I am lost. The war is over.
I crumble into eternity and scatter in the night wind.
I am nothing.
Call me what you will.
