The Void

The void.
I can’t see anything.
When I was in the world,
Everyone could see me, 
And they stared.
Now that I’m in the void?
Now that I’m in the void.
That echoes calmly to me.
In that world?
They were friends, they said.
Familiar.
Means nothing to me.
They are now jealous,
That I stole the void.
But I learned to not share a long time ago.

Thank you for sharing your void. There are as many void in the world as there are people plus one. Making a friend with our special void takes a lifetime. A little shoplifting requires a bit a poetry. Love your five-finger discount.
