Nothing matters

Thump. Click. squeeze, shoot
Get ready for it,
No thing matters
Joy, escstacy, flying high
Slump, bang, pain, no sense
No thing matters
Punch, slap, crack, bruised
Floored with numbness, what next
No thing matters
Walking one step, then another
Head down, faceless, useless
No thing matters
Itching, scratching, bleeding out
Choking, broken, staring down
No thing matters
Do it, take again and again
Worthless, scum, thing, friend?
No thing matters
Nothing else, here, now,
Dying, death, take me out……

Hi, I am a young at heart middle aged woman, navigating life , love and hardships like you.... I love to write, about anything and everything. I like to also write poetry. I love people , people watching, travelling, exploring and learning. Having enjoyed empty nest for a couple of years, it's time to get more selfish, more relaxed, more adventurous as I slide into my next decade... Looking forward to see what each new day brings...
