Awake and Empty
I’m awake but empty
New Day and still same me
I gather strength to rise from my bed to approach the same events as the last day
These days are the same
The start with awakening and the weight of emptiness in my body
I feel nothing when I breathe
This empty hollowness in my body is suffocating me from reality
Do I belong here?
Again I am awake but empty
I try to find my purpose
The reason I wake everyday
If I am empty how could there be a purpose?
I lay awake and wonder why I am empty
The world is contradicting and conflicting
However I still find the strength to awake even if I am empty
My purpose is to fill the emptiness inside of me
So yes, I am awake
I am alive
And as of now I am empty
That emptiness will be filled.
