From the Void

Here, in the void. I'm waiting to be taught. My pen and paper are ready, at least I think. It's hard to tell. Here in the void.

Here, in the void, it's pitch black. The breathing machine doesn't work here.

On my paper, I write fear. In the void.

In the void, I see my cousin. Let's play, she says. In the void. So much time away. Scars last for years when you get them here.

With my pen, I write lust. In the void.

I'm not sure if this game is fun anymore. I think I hurt my little brother.

Big brother why are you not in the void. I've lost my voice now calling you. Abandonment I subconsciously carry on.

I write pain. In the void.

I hear my momma's voice now. Here in the void. "You either inside or outside!" I laugh, as if I've got a choice. In the void.
