The Void Within

The emptiness inside, a vast expanse,

A void that swallows all emotion at once.

A feeling that's hard to put to words,

A sensation of nothingness, almost absurd.

*

Like a black hole, it consumes and destroys,

Leaving behind a sense of endless void.

No joy, no pain, no love, no hate,

Just a vast emptiness, a lonely fate.

*

It's not sadness, nor is it despair,

Just a feeling of numbness that's hard to bear.

The mind is a void, a bottomless pit,

A sense of nothingness, where nothing fits.

*

Yet in the midst of this emptiness,

A flicker of hope, a light to bless.

For in the darkness there is a chance,

To find oneself, to learn to dance.

*

To embrace the void, to fill it with light,

To find meaning in the endless night.

For in nothingness there is space,

To create anew, to find one's grace.

*

So let us not fear the emptiness inside,

For it's a chance to grow, to heal, to abide.

Let us embrace the sensation of nothingness,

And find the beauty in its vastness.
