A SPECTRAL VOID

I don't exist in any way

I don't, I don't, I don't exist

You will not notice how I am

You never have and never will

I simply don't exist at all

Not that I care - I don't exist

There is in me no greed to feel

For I am free from everything

A spectral void of nothingness

The thought of which would haunt a ghost

While as for you - I don't exist

And so you have no cause to care

Because I simply don't exist

While you must die.. and I.. and I ..

Really wish I had something intelligent to say here...
I just liked it! I felt quite uplifted reading that; calm.
I was just about to say that it's very poetic. ;)
I liked it.

there is a certain freedom in non-existence. i can see how non existence can give you a sense of immortality, bit for those who do exist will inevitably die. excellent poem.

In a universe in which we are bonded to each other there is such a one who is not aware of such a relation. Such a one, they say, takes responsibility for all the rest who love and come to the bond. The task of such a person is not an easy one ... but only he knows what he does or may hence be so. Like a Tristram Shandy the gentleman the poem digresses and amplifies its words in an effort to say it knows everything except the reasons why we sometimes fall and hurt ourselves. Nicely done.

This strikes an interesting image for me. It's like a voice of human made out of darkmatter, rather than normal matter... where light is absent, yet they are still aware.

Fascinating creation! Much enjoyed!

That is a sad poem. Beautiful but sad! I do share that void of nothingness, sometimes, though!
