The Unliving (2008)
I wrote this poem back in September 2008 when I was going through a very difficult time.
Death without death,
Life without life,
That is the unliving
Empty and hollow,
Of purpose, value and meaning
That is the unliving
A black void all encompassing,
Nothing but darkness to be seen
That is the unliving.
Not living in the shadows,
Being the shadows
That is the unliving.
Pain, suffering, hurt – not enemies to be defeated,
Rather lovers to be embraced – just to feel SOMETHING
That is the unliving
To drift through life,
A ghost unseen by any
That is the unliving
To scream at the top of your lungs
Into a tornado unheard
That is the unliving
No identity
No hope
No feeling
No existence
No value
No self-worth
Unseen
Unknown
Unheard
Undead
Unliving
An outcast
Unloved
