Everything feels like it's drowning me
Smothering me in nothing
I am a blank
A white sheet of paper submerged in black
Words etched shallowly on the surface
In failed attempts
At covering monotony eternal
In shadows my mind waits
But it will never end
Words fly at me but fall before my guard
None will ever reach me
So why must you try so desperately?
You fling them at me with full force
But they will not touch me
Nothing can when I'm here
Don't try to reach out to me
Just stop
Save it for someone else
They might be deserving of it
As for me, I'm too plain
Just a blank
I'm beyond your help now
Keep trying
And I'll be unable to save you
When you fail
Jess
