Empty
by Mordread

Something is missing
Something is missing
and I wish I knew what it was

Is there something everyone has
that I do not seem to possess?
I feel devalued, not as good as my peers
and the constant reminder that I am a
failure contributes to all of my fears.

I look ahead at the rest of my life,
but I don't really like what I see.
A pointless existence,consisting of work
but well, I should have a good job.
Someone with no friends, and no need
for emotions, I just cry and hope its not me

Perhaps I should not worry on what's to be
and stop thinking about why I feel empty.
Its possible that it could be all in my head,
like some mentally constructed banshee.
