NULL (A poem by Maureen Okene)

Forever is a long time
and  some things have refused to change
I don't even care anymore, is that a crime?
I need to get out of this cage of mine

My feelings have failed me
So, how do I organize my thoughts?
I'm lost in different ways
Everything is making me just lose my mind

Darkness erodes me
The voices inside me are silent
The fire inside has been quenched
striping my life off my hands

Now I understand the  cost for happiness
it's like hell let loose
so just get me that booze
and wallow in pain
