Apathy

I have felt the pain of silence

Deep, sinking

As I let go

Of my previous life.

A world in which

I only existed.

I find myself,

Challenged –

Listening to the talking heads

Around me.

I can see their emptiness,

Their shallowness,

Forming smoke circles

In their breath as they speak.

Meaningless.

All have fallen under the shadow

Of apathy.

We live our lives

In indifference to our own thoughts.

Becoming smaller

Than we used to be.
