Temporary nothing

vanessa wallace

At one point in my life

I felt nothing

I would go through life like normal

Getting yelled at, ridiculed, just the norms

And I felt nothing

Because it was such a repetitive cycle

I have made so many mistakes

That it has come to the point where I have become a self proclaimed mistake

People have expressed their concerns about me

Whether it be online or in a therapists' office

But nevertheless

I feel nothing.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I made this whilst thinking about how many people have expressed their concerns about me, both in therapy & online. I felt nothing at one point, just accepting that my life was going to be this way. Emotions always were never allowed to be expressed in my household, therefore I tried to erase them entirely. Anyways, I would love to know your thoughts on this piece.

    Rose, I hope you feel soon. Life is to be felt. It is hard. Man is it hard. But feel it all. Cry until you silently scream... Then breathe deeply. You are alive. Look outside, find something beautiful and really look at it. Feel your feelings but then step away from yourself. You are part of a much larger grander image and Rose, it is beautiful. You are doing great. Keep writing and sharing. You feel enough to write the words. Keep doing. Keep fighting. CLARA X

    I love the poem.
    Takes a strong person to feel nothing however it doesn't have to be a bad thing if channeled properly.
    Having that much control over your emotions..to choose when to feel and not feel is like having a super power!

    In my humble opinion, the fact that you write, and how you write about feeling nothing seems to show that you DID feel, but maybe more internal than external. You write well, keep on!

    Those feelings of nothing are coming out onto the page and that 'nothingness' will be replaced with joy and love.
