It's All Gone

elphaba993

I don't see it 

I can't see a future 

With me in it 

I just have this aching emptiness 

And it's exhausting 

I'm tired of feeling this way 

I remember praying for this 

Thinking anything was better than the pain 

But I know now 

That I was wrong 

This emptiness is far worse 

I need to hurt 

I need to bleed

I need to know that I'm alive 

Because I feel more dead than alive right now 

And as terrifying as that should be 

I just can't feel 

I have no desire to go on 

There's nothing left 

It's all gone 

It's all gone

    This is very touching and heart breaking. I feel this explains my feeling right now. If you are going through anything... you will be okay. Or if you just wrote this on a creative whim I applause you.

    Ohhhhhhhh ELPHA ~ It can't ALL GO @ 22 ! You are only 25% through your life span. You are bright (judging from your poetry) beautiful (judging from your picture) and experiencing life. If you poem is experiential I can assure your that (from time to time) we all go through the "slough of despond" but with a little help from our friends ~ and a lot of help from GOD we survive and now I'm 33 (on third) through my life and in 2033 I'll be half way through. I find as i get older ~ I am better able to survive ~ OK. Thanks for sharing every blessing ~ Your Friend ~ BRIAN
