Feeling Vacuum All Over

Mahfuza Akhter

Mahfuza Akhter

Especially when there is so much else to do.

But what I am doing?

Just passing time.

Yes, I will say this “just passing time.”

When it is high time to earn something,

I just passing time.

I don’t do things

what will save me, give me courage to face the finale trial.

I don’t know what about others.

I always feel myself remain sinking into a heap of sin.

Is there anyone to make me way out from this feeling

As well as taking me away from doing so whatever is forbidden me not to do

Or making me to do what has been asked me to do?

I know there is nobody.

Because it is only me

Who is able to do so.

But every step I am being interrupted by myself

It is me gets stand against me

making me to do so whatever dragging me gradually to the hell for the both worlds.

It is supposed to remain control button in my own hands

But where it is?

I could not try to get that button in my hands.

Each second gets fly taking me closer to the last step.

Whenever I look at to myself

A terrible vacuum is surfaced before me

I feel empty

Whatever is in my possession is not mine at all

What could be my ones

I did not try to earn those

I don’t know yet what I can take away with me at my final departure.
