Write a poem about feeling empty

1 answer

In the depths of my soul, a void resides
A darkness that consumes and divides
No matter how hard I try to fill the space
I always end up back in this desolate place

I wander through life with a hollow ache
Searching for something I cannot fake
The emptiness gnaws at my core
Leaving me longing for something more

I try to bury the emptiness deep down
But it always resurfaces, wearing a frown
No amount of distractions can quell the pain
I'm left feeling lost, with nothing to gain

So I sit in silence, with a heavy heart
Feeling like I'm falling apart
I long for a sense of peace and meaning
But all I find is this empty feeling

But perhaps in this emptiness, there lies a clue
A chance to search for something new
To fill the void with love and light
And finally find a sense of delight

So I'll keep searching, never giving up
Hoping to one day fill my cup
And banish this emptiness for good
Finding the happiness I know I should.
