Emptiness Poem by JJ Evendon

There’s an emptiness in my life that seems to burn,
so I have taken a road that twists and turns.
One that leads to a dark place where I can’t be found.
Troubled nights, nightmares all around.
Where life’s lost souls disappear, gone forever,
In a world that can be worst, not better.
But light is staring me in my face
as I slowly open my eyes to the human race.
What the world is doing can’t be right.
It never is, in the land of ‘twilight’.
So where are we and where do we want to go?
Are we moving too fast, or is it too slow?
Only you can decide where you want to be.
Mine’s different, as I want to leave this place you see.
