Everything

"I met him uptown -
He was okay."
So sick of her speaking,
With nothing to say.
So I took a breath,
A fall,
And knocked on the door -
Welcome Back.

It is where it is,
Where...Is...It?
It is what it is,
What...Is...It?
Monotony Examplified,
Mundanity Personified,
Perpetual Emotion -
Pick it up.
A thing called Everything,
Written for you,
A present from Atlas,
A present for you.

Nothing to say?
She's got nothing to say?
Then what of my load?
It grows by the day!
I don't think she saw it -
I think she lied.
How could she see it?
I keep it inside.
And inside it grows,
I'm feeding it now,
It sucks up the moment,
And swells by the hour.

A thing called Everything,
Is too much to bear,
I have to stop it -
I must give it away.

I'll force it away,
There must be a way,
To channel this world,
Unremember Today.
Greed Multiplied,
Masses Stupified,
Perpetual Stagnation -
I picked it up.
And buried it deep -
With a shovel called Hate.
Buried my world,
Deep in her face.
Deal with it now -
Deal with the lies,
Of another's creation,
That logic defies.

I breathe...
A thing called Everything,
Encompassing me,
Has a new home,
We're part of she.

    From an artistic perspective:
    this is the first poem of yours I've ever seen in first person, so props on the change of style. Very hard hitting in terms of content, 'tis amazing how many images you've captured in this verse. I really feel for this character.

    However, I suddenly need to know if this is based on a real life experience. If yes - why didn't you talk about this with peoples? Is it still a problem? Do you want to talk it out in real life?
