Empty



How do I begin to explain
What does one say im all emptied out
Nothing holding me here
Nothing to try for
Happiness, a word I long forgotten
Nothing stable in my soul
Always wanting so much more
Not having one clue in what I want
im so alone
What should I do just give me a clue
Im walking on air
I talk, move, and you see me here
But im not im miles away
the world pulls my strings now
My head is about to explode
You ask me what im feeling
Which feeling I have a million in me
What will become of this to full empty soul
