Not knowing

This is about a prisoner whose release date has not been set.

The worse pain to feel, is the pain of not knowing.
Rather a blade through the ribs, than this torture to my mind.
Never knowing yesterday, is now multiplied, ten, a hundred, a thousand fold,
by the not knowing of today.
This numbing feeling of nothingness, forms a colossal emptiness that i struggle to comprehend.
So i stare at the wall, with empty thoughts, once again not knowing.
