ANGUISH AND FRUSTRATION

When nothing is all that comes,
When “nothing” dulls the brain,
It’s time to ask why I fail the task.
I know that I need to move.
I know that I need to act.
Life is passing by.
Is it time to ask the question “why?”
No!
It’s time to act:
Take pen to hand and write
Whatever
Comes
To wash
Away
The emptiness
Of the night.
