I’ve stared at this wall for hours
It hasn’t changed
It hasn’t moved
It hasn’t given me anything either
The Void of this wall is deafening
I keep looking at this wall
Hoping that it will provide
Another hour has gone by
And nothing
I try projecting an image
Something to conjure up
Any sort of inspiration
But this wall is still blank
This wall is silent
The silence hurts my ears
And sinks my heart
Is this wall the end?
Is this wall a road block?
Will this wall crush me?
As it sits there
I am compelled to do the same
As my hatred builds for this wall
The louder it calls for my attention
I want to break through this wall
But I have no tools
I want to make this wall disappear
But I am no magician
I want someone to take this wall away
But I am alone
As alone as I am
The wall is my company
It is both everyone
And yet it is no one
It is not my friend
But it is my companion
Why won’t this wall go away?
Can I go around it?
The wall is too wide
There doesn’t seem to be an end
Can I go over it?
The wall is too high
I look up
It’s then that I notice
It’s then that I ask
Is this a wall?
I look left
The wall is there
I look behind
The wall is there
There are no corners
There is nothing above me
But the wall
The wall is everywhere
The Void and the wall
Are one and the same
I begin running
Searching for anything other than this wall
Nothing
I don’t reach a beginning
I don’t reach an end
A door
Another wall
Another person
Just the Void
The never ending Void
I scream
No sound
Just as I start to give up
I see something
I walk towards it
It’s not moving
But I start to recognize what it is
No
It’s not moving
But it is blinking
On
Off
On
Off
Waiting
Waiting for me
Waiting for me to give it life
To give it meaning
Then
Without warning
It hits me
