Emptiness.
Oblivion spans before me
in my head,
gray skies of nothingness
loom over countless
opportunities for happiness.
There are countless
opportunities for happiness,
yet I am unable to
experience a single one.
Plains of oblivion,
shades of endless gray,
joy evades my being;
help me find the
strength to smile,
to love, to breathe,
to peacefully exist.
Emptiness.
Oblivion is looming over me,
skies of endless gray
coupled with endless rain
show me that no matter
how hard I try,
my future will never be
brighter than this dull gray.
Everything comes at a cost,
even sadness,
and I am left alone,
drowning in infinite misery.
I can never give everything
to remove this blight of sadness,
and this empty hole in my chest
shows me that I will
never be complete.
Drowning in endless gray,
weeping in misery,
my aching chest tells me
that I can never be
who I am meant to be.
I am lost.
These plains of oblivion
span for eternity,
and waiting for an opportunity,
sitting back and being complacent,
has got me nothing.
I am alone.
Everyone has left me
to rot and decompose in the
vast emptiness that
fills my head, and
there is no escape.
Oblivion.
Drowning me in your
gray emptiness, you are the
only forever that I am promised;
you striped me of pride and
self-worth the moment I was born.
Drowning in endless gray,
yet somehow still afloat,
when will you capsize me
and bring an end to this
joke of an existence?
Capsize me, drown me,
take away all signs of my
existence, because
to live is to die, and I
feel more dead than alive.
