Emptiness
The world around me seems an avenging darkness
I can clearly see myself in the mirror, I despise
Every inch of my limp hair
Every expression of my eyebrows
I collapse on my bed, hoping to find peace
Instead, I find discontent in its softness
Ill words rant across my stormy brain
Waves of emotions escalate like fallen teardrops
Enough to drown me in the hollow cylinder of my emptiness
I close my eyes, yet your accusing stare scribbles through my lids
The drowsy morning comes, my empty head incapable to decipher a thought.
