Emptiness Poem by Andrew Olson

i feel empty inside
i dont find pleasure in life anymore
i dont know what i want anymore
i feel dead on the inside

no longer motivated and full of life
dull lifeless days
long sleepless nights
reduced passion from life
plain as black and white
the days pass me by one by one

i have what i thought i once wanted
but it doesnt fill my emptiness
my black pit of emptiness

i have the friends i wanted
i have everything i once wished for
and worked hard for
but theres something missing still
still a void needing to be filled

something left unsatisfied
looking for more from life
always thankful for what i have

i miss the joy and happiness i once possessed
what i would give to get that back one day
the eternal search for that missing piece continues
that which i once wanted turned out to not be so great
