hikikomori
by Sage B.
copyright 03-14-2005


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
To withdraw
It sounds so nice
Just living in a room
Without people
Only the ones on the net and in video games
just breathing and typing
Dreaming and running
Running but staying in one place
Like I have been doing since I was young
I can't remember exactly when
But I know what
I just keep running,crying..lying
digging my grave deeper
then just turning into a pair of eyes and fingers
Soul and mind
thinking and observing
writing to get by
instead of bursting
I want to live without emotion
But then what would I write about?
seclusion?
Darkness?
The blue light of technology?
Breathing?
I think that I would just sink into the eternal sleep I've heard about
Death is starting to sound nice
Hikikomori sounds better
A social death of seclusion
Where waking up is like a cold bath
And most of your thoughts surround what you really look like
Just because mirrors don't exist in my exile
So I could always be beautifully silent
A true hikikomori

This really touchs me.... oh. wait... thats just my sister tapping my shoulder. It is a nice poem, but doesn't fit you as well as it would other kids out there. Is it about some1 else?

Jane> hikikomori is japanese for withdraw they use it to describe teens who stay locked in their rooms for almost forever.

THis is a wonderful poem. But one thing... what is hikikomori? I picture goes well with the poem. I have felt like this once. You really are good with words. Great job. I hope you make many more poems like this.

This flows smoothly and is easy to read. I do question your idea of being alone, without anyone to interact with other than those on the internet. Keep in mind, that although we are real people on the internet, it is still an artificial world. We all need real, live, personal, in-your-face interaction with people. Without that, we become just a shell, with no emotions, or opinions, or feeling of belonging,
"Reach out and touch someone" works much better in real life than on-line.
