CAVERNOUS

Empty stomach
Eating away
Head full of rocks
Weighted but floating

I want to dissipate
I want to be dust
Twinkling and hanging
Collecting in the corners

So all I eat
Is air and light
I fill my insides
With enough emptiness
To bloat all my guts
Until they swell and grow
And burst wide open
Displaying the musty cavern
Incubating in my intestines

Stalactite sorrow
Dripping from the ceiling
Stalagmite sadness
Rising and piercing
Growing through my feet
Rooting me to the ground
I am so lost
And I’ll never be found

This is dark, depressing and sad. The feelings of despair and lost hope. Wanting to just disappear and be gone for good.

Yeah I get overwhelmed with that feeling sometimes. It always passes though.

This one has the sound of depression. There is the sense of emptiness and pervasive anxiety, along with the fear it will never get better. Good use of imagery, especially in the last verse.

Thank you :)
