Emptiness

By Tangent Ponderings

Emptied vile
My poison ingest
Blowing off life
Like some stupid test

Full of lies
A misguided youth
Given up on love
Searching for truth

Loathing and rage
Hate filled heart
Trying to live
But cant even start

Full of disgusted
Running away
Wanting to leave
But having to stay

Trapped in my mind
Lost in my soul
Gripping so tightly
Yet losing control

Where to go
I've lost my way
Such negative feelings
That wont go away

No reason to try
No will to fight
Running in darkness
In search of the light

Living for something
Reasons like this
Searching or fulfillment
Knowing only emptiness
