Echoes

In shadows of the night, I ponder deep, Why does this emptiness inside me creep? I'm just a girl, lost in this vast sea, Searching for answers to set my soul free. The world whirls by, a chaotic race, But I stand still in this empty space. I wear a smile, but it's just a mask, Hiding the questions I dare not ask. Why do I feel this hollowness within? Is it the world's noise, or some secret sin? I long for meaning, a purpose to hold, In this story of mine, yet untold. The days go by, a relentless stream, And I chase dreams, like a fleeting gleam. But they slip through my fingers like grains of sand, Leaving me empty, like a forgotten land. Perhaps it's the journey, not the end, That fills our hearts, my dear friend. I'll keep on searching, I'll never stop, For the answers lie within, at the heart's workshop. In the quiet moments, when stars above, Whisper secrets of the universe's love, I'll find the solace, I'll find the key, To unlock the mysteries inside of me. So, in this quest, I'll bravely tread, Though the emptiness lingers in my head, I'll write my own story, and make it sublime, And fill this void with the sands of time.
