` surrender `
A silence thickens —
time erodes without purpose
nothingness lingers

[THOUGHTS of PROSE]
As a silence thickens, meanings dissolve into the routine of time that passes without calling.
Where there was once something,
but now, only remnants,
shadows without emotions occupy that space of well intentions.
The mind lingers, but without intent. It does not seek, does not question, only watches as the silence thickens, as endings fold into themselves.
No chaos, no renewal, only the slow, indifferent decay of what no longer matters, only the slow, careful surrender of meaning. A drift into apathy, as if the soul has learned to exhale and then forgotten to breathe again.

This piece was inspired by this quote I read recently by a online Veterans Suicide Prevention Awareness Group. For those that don't know "22 A Day" particularly addresses the alarming statistic that 22 veterans die by suicide each day
"Apathy" plays a significant role in veteran suicides, particularly through "Thwarted Belongingness" and "Perceived Burdensomeness", "Indifference",
and Emotional numbness.
In the context of veterans, apathy can make seeking help feel futile, reinforcing isolation. These are just a few main psychological factors linked to suicide.
