Emptiness

Loretta 2005 (Abuja)



It's so bright outside,
But all i can see is darkness all round,
How did i end up like this,
Everything feels so tight,
I just want to scream so loud.

Mum says it'll be fine,
But it was never ok,
Tried to fit in,
But didn't work out at all,
Then i was told, it's just life.

I had a cruel fate,
All i had, was my teddy bear,
Can't say i was still fine,
I really felt empty.
