It’s All Just a Matter of_____
Is an empty space a negative space?
Sometimes I sit and wonder what happened to the words.
Did they disappear, did I lose track, and forget the ______
An aberration of my mind, a memory perhaps
Should I give up, do something else
If I can’t find the _____
◻️◻️◻️◻️◻️◻️
I’ve wrestled with these crippling thoughts
I have wasted so much ____
I searched my brain until it hurt
Didn’t sleep, tossed and turned all night long
Searching for that perfect _____
◻️◻️◻️◻️◻️◻️
In the end I simply have to give up
I just can’t find the _____
If I was smart, I’d just give it away
Move on to something else
Something where I don’t need to obsess about the _____

[A/n: Empty spaces, what are they all about? One person's void is another person's treasure.
This poem follows a distinct pattern. Two words can replace each to fill the 'empty spaces' and still fit. You may have a different take with your own words.]
Till next time,
