Empty
I feel empt inside
I wish I knew why
Everything for a while seeme fine
Still, I feel empty inside
A chore just to breathe
Hard to move
But you won't know it on the outside
I (struggle to) hold it within me
I don't want to start anew
I just want to finish, and finish soon
Nothing will matter
Or frighten
Or worry or anger
Won't have a single care
Won't feel a thing
No pain, no fear, no emptiness here
But God's not read to have me go
So I must keep up my little show
It's difficult, you know
But that's how life tends to go
What's worse is the emptiness inside
I wish I knew why
Everything for a while seemed fine
Still, I feel empty inside
