What’s missing

What is this feeling

I don’t know what is missing

I just know something is

I feel it everyday

A emptiness

A lack of

A dull ache

A sadness, a grief I can’t explain

I look around and see it in everyone else,

A spark, a essence that I don’t have

And I long for ‘it’, whatever that ‘it’ is

My doctor calls it depression

A simple word for something so devastating
