Emptyness

There is nothing left in me
all i want is nothing
It is hard to be
when you're defending something

Empty like a bottle
Empty like a glass
Empty is my total
Empty in my mass

All meanings lost
purpose is forgotten
Empty is my loss
No where I have gotten

As I read this I thought of that saying about the glass being half full, or half empty. Its all a matter of perception, we can choose to be "full" or "empty" and its entirely our choice. Well done again!

I can really relate to this, and it inspires me to write down how I feel when I'm empty. I really like the last stanza, it rhymes quite nicely, also.

Yes. I have felt like this befor, all empthy inside. It is not a feeling i want to have again. But anyways, Beautiful poem. It states something that turly happenes to people.

Bottles may be served empty, if newly made, or used.
But as the glass it holds potential;
potential to hold, as it were.

If meanings travel from their place,
it might seem like a mess.
but without clear answers,
you gain questions,
and learn through those you ask.

One day we'll stop asking the questions
For their answers will have filled this glass of ours
And it is then, and only then,
You will see where you've gotten,
You will see who you are.
