Empty Poem by Kimberley Keller

When will I learn,
Dreams don't come true.
Everything's foggy,
I haven't a clue.
Time has grown sluggish,
Days stand still.
The emptiness inside me,
Nothing can fill.
The moment has passed,
The window has closed.
I turned down the offer
Life once proposed.
My options are gone
My path is pin straight
I'm heading towards
An ominous fate.
All hope I once had
Is gone with the sun.
Mocking my failure-
The laughter's begun.
Hollow gasps and cries
Tear at my throat
Feeling constrained-
World- hear my shout.
