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
