Empty
Im so empty inside
I feel fucking hollow
Like Ive been gutted
Finding it hard to swallow
Staring at the wall
For hours on end
Ive given up
I cant even pretend
Theres a weight of nothing
Deep in my chest
My heart is dead
My head is stressed
The future holds nothing
My past holds me down
Stuck in between
Are the tears of a clown
Why cant I get right?
Why am I stuck?
Why do I cling to the dark?
Why cant I give a fuck?
Why can't I give a fuck?
I hate my life
But I won't change
Anything besides despair
Feels so strange
I cant live and I won't die
I dwell in the middle
Thinking non stop
I cant solve this riddle
Is the world my enemy
Or am I the one?
Does blame matter
When the damage is done?

You have aptly framed depression and unchanging despair in poetic form. The repeated line “ Why can’t I give a fuck?”,
gave me pause, as the words bluntly reflected just how awfully lost in the void the speaker in poem really is.

My pen is my saving grace. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and leave a comment. In some way I find a comfort in the fact that you could feel what I feel in by reading this.

The weight of nothing is heavy. A good poem that express that feeling that some times can't be explained.
