Emotions well up inside me

An endless abyss of fear, forgetfulness and uninhibited sadness

Wanting to purge them out and

Turn on the flame of life inside

Only to find no energy

Nor desire

Hold on, I tell myself

It will be better soon

Sometimes even those words

Make me want to cry more

Take this emptiness away

Fill me with the joy of life

I see around me

Let me be the one to know

What living is all about.
