Dilemma
i have a bubble of nothingness
growing relentlessly inside
taking up more and more room
till i just pray it will explode
this nothingness might
have a name or it might not
i don't want to talk about it
and it might go away
to just expand into oblivion
on one other hand
what i want is the warmth of peace
the kind that infuses and
isn't ruled by nothingness and chaos
yet i may as well be in the furthest galaxy
dodging demons i can't fight off
fleeing demons that aren't my own
demons he can't or won't let go
