Empty Space Poem by Iris Mista

They always said I am strong
now, not knowing where I belong
I am trying to find that strength
Empty road, endless length

Can I do this one more time
Beat the rhythm without rhyme
To find these peaceful spots inside
Without the pressing urge to hide?

Can I walk this road, all alone
Not turning my heart into stone
Can I beat the pumping loneliness
Squeezed brains, fear and stress

Why God why, is this my place
With nothing else, empty space
world disappearing without a sigh
Stop, my heart, the wondering why

There is a pain no pill can heal
If loneliness becomes clearly real
That is the nature of a human soul
Split into one half, never a whole

I pray for all the lonely ones out there
Find another lonely heart to share
Never wait until time passes by
To lock you up in everlasting why

For me it already was too late
Before I even started, call it fate
Everything is for a reason, this is it
Only in an empty place I'll fit
