|Vacant Body|

Trying to have an emotion.

Is like battling a wall.

It’s like mind gaps of time or memories.

The medication won’t reprieve.

I would be unsettled and angry. 

But the substance flows in my veins.

So I sit here logically understanding. 

But also mentally combating the deal.

What an interesting place to be.

Surrounded in a sea.

Of my own emotion.

But oh you can’t touch.

Like a vacant body waiting for a seed.

Hello my friend. When we are seeking nothing and wanting nothing. Hard to escape this place.

when emotions are battling logic, and our mind is the battlefield...nobody wins.

I read this like how we welcome an addiction but the dream it promises is empty. Anyway it is a great write, masterfully done.

Sounds like the myth of Tantalus. Such a condition can be a part of depression, or an effect of the medication used to treat it.
