The cracks in my ceiling

Staring at the cracks in my ceiling has made me realize

My biggest fears have all come true.

For I am nothing,

With or with out you

I am nothing.

This insignificance,

This nothingness.

My darkest fears

Take over my body,

They control me.

I need to break free

I want too.

But with fear comes demons
and the demons

Keep me still in my bed
paralyzed with fear,

Staring at the cracks in my ceiling.

Second Draft


Staring at the cracks in my ceiling has made me realize
My biggest fears have all come true.
For I am nothing,
With or with out you
I am nothing.

This insignificance,
Nothingness.
My darkest fears,
Take over my body,
They control me.

I need to break free
I want too.
But the fear,
Keeps me still in my bed
Staring at the cracks in my ceiling,
Thinking about being nothing
