"CALL OF THE VOID" Poem & Art By: Perpetua All Mother


Call of the Void 5 x 8, Ink on Paper, 2024 By Perpetua All Mother




Lately, I've been really into leaving things behind.

Blame it all on the fact that I was cheated of a family to call mine—

Parents who only knew to love poorly.

I have loved a hundred times worse, surely.

Now I spend my days trying to forget certain parts of my life.


Every sin I ever enacted was an attempt to fill the void.

I know that sounds like an excuse,

But it’s more than the truth—it's compulsive.

Sometimes I tear myself apart, just keep pulling and pulling.

I can’t remember when the sadness began,

Or if I was just born with it.


Honestly,

I have pasts inside of me I can’t seem to bury properly.

I try to move on in life,

Unfortunately, the grief is as heavy as it is haunting.

I dream of going home again and reconnecting with my family,

But the pessimistic voice inside always seems to stop me

Before I’m too far into imagining.


God must have thought I needed a couple angels to watch over me.

L'appel du vide binds and tortures me.

Il neige, le décor s'écroule, maman.

Qu'as-tu fait de ma vie?
