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

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
