EMPTY

I have so much in my head

    and my brain will explode

So much love, so much angst

    and all the world's lies

So much passion, so much desire,

    it all burns like fire

But I feel empty, for everything on my mind

    is not how I wanted things to be

What's on my mind

    is what the world has fed me

I live on what others expect of me

    not even daring to do what I wanted to

I tried hard enough to please all of them

    so hard that I didn't even bother to please myself

Forgetting that my own feelings and thoughts

    are what matter most

And now, beside no one I stand

    and darkness is where I fly

For all the the things I did

    and all the people I cared for

They have already gone out

    leaving me helpless and full of emptiness!
