No light in sight

In the deep recesses of my soul A void lies dormant and cold A feeling of emptiness that gnaws at my core, Leaving me feeling lost and sore. No matter how much I try to fill This hollow space, it lingers still Like a bottomless pit, it devours my joy Leaving me feeling like a mere decoy. I search for meaning, for purpose, for light But all I find is darkness within my sight The emptiness echoes in the chambers of my heart, tearing me apart I try to mask it with smiles and laughter But deep down, I know it's a disaster For how can one be truly happy When inside, they feel so empty I long for peace, for serenity, for calm But the emptiness is like a ticking bomb Ready to explode at any moment Leaving me shattered and broken. I plead with the universe to fill me up To ease this pain, to lift me up But the emptiness remains, a constant reminder, That I am but a mere bystander. So I sit in silence, with my empty soul Hoping one day, I'll once again feel whole But until then, I'll carry this burden within A constant reminder of the darkness that has always been.
