Emptiness

Emptiness

A Poem by Buddhistboy73
"

A piece of spoken word/poetry showing how i was feeling one evening...

"

Emptiness


Emptiness engulfs me like thick tar

sticky, gripping, holding, pulling

calling, comforting, like an old friend

amazing how it tempts me in


so what's this all about?

self destruction, masochism?

why destroy when we could create

this feeling inside, is it innate?


fighting, controlling, always rolling

speak the truth, no time for bowling

so i face my fear, shake it's hand

and sail freely around this land


to free ourselves we have to die

give in to life and breathe a sigh

f**k the corporate towers in the sky

i've had enough of society's lie


'cos being good ain't the way

now it's time to have my say

so cut the crap and pour a drink

while we sit back and have a think

I'm not sure whats worse...the feeling of emptiness or the sadness of loneliness..

which ever people decide it doesn't change who we are inside as a person...

Sometimes we just need to be heard.......

:O)

Wow, I love this! wonderful poem. I must say I agree. I'll pull up a chair and have a cheery drink with you. My favorite line was "To free ourselves we have to die, give in to life and breathe a sigh, f**k the corporate towers in the sky, I've had enough of society's lie.

Fabulous write.

you do a good job of sending across what your saying and feeling to the reader...and you do it with balls. not with a whiney voice. i enjoyed this. great last two lines. great overall

I do think Poetry Expresses Maybe sadness, or "Emptiness".
I basically Knew all about that stuff but you interested me...
