Never Empty

My hollow heart collapsing under pressure
And behind my eyes a fuzzy lightness.
Holding my mind bound, a hostage
And it wants to fade away, fly away.
I fight the feeling, focusing, focus
And I just fall through holes in the mesh.

No tether binds me here.
Life is a bottle in a void:
Pulled in every direction,
Stretched thin,
Kept whole by inertia.
Inertia isn't forever.
Inertia yields to pressure.
Inertia isn't forever.
Inertia falls away.

But I press back on the void
And I force it back, and I hold myself together
And I don't need inertia.

Life is change,
Life is destruction,
Life pares away the weaknesses
And leaves strengths tested.
Life is energy,
Life is movement,
Life is everything.
Nothing else matters.
I am alive.
