Capturing Emptiness

Try to capture that empty feeling when you care about nothing at all in this world.
This isn't about the anger of hate, the drama of suicide, or the sadness of lost love.
It is about the total absence of motivation on any level.

  • Final notes:
    Thank you to everyone for your entries at such short notice.
    What stuck out most in the overall entries was the different usage of words.
    In general the ones I preferred never allowed themselves any excitement in meter or language, it is interesting that not everyone picked up on this.
    Well done to the winners
    Thank You all again Jon
