Blank Space

what happened to the promised world
of love, joy and Italy visits for some spaghetti twirl
the empty space in me eats me alive everyday um just a carcass
my own blood fed me to the wolves at a tender age
in my teens they wonder why I um filled with rage
why I fill my temple with drugs just to feel numb, trying to fill the blank space
the many times my mom almost lost her son is countless
but she lost her son years ago when my soul broke and life lost meaning
the torment and endless emotional beatings,


I never shed a tear cause
my dad once told me that's for the weak men
but in his eyes I will never be man enough so why not cry and drown in the pool of tears
maybe it will drown my fears
my dreams are too big for my close ones because they are small minded
they do not believe in anything cause their heart are ancient guided
I have spent a life time stuck in silence


Bloated with hate and confusion
why do I hate
I hate because its the only thing i have been taught
I am confused because the bible um forced to read talks about love
but tells people to hate those that are a bit different

Um tired of this blank space where nothing ever happens
Um tired of this blank space that eats me away
Um leaving this blank space
who am i kidding i found comfort in this blank space
once i have faith to find something better in a different space
i will be disappointed and crawl back to my blank space


So i came out
and i stayed out
I was baited out
The calling was too loud
The blank space calls every now and then but i have no more room for it
cause someone filled the space
