apathy
/there is something
uniquely terrifying
about watching your emotions
dissipate before your eyes
witnessing the fear
of your fear falling away
itself fall away
into the abyss of apathy
leaving nothing
but a gentle malaise
and a question
you don’t care enough to answer
is it worse
to feel pain
or to not feel anything
at all?
This poem is from the book, ‘Poetry from a Dark Night of the Soul’.
