Empty

What leaves you empty? 
Waking up feeling like you have nothing 
When everything is there
Surrounded by 100’s of people 
Still feeling so lonely 
Frustration fills your soul 
And you have no reason why
When do you know you are empty?
Knowing you just want out 
But cant get to your exit 
All you see is a tunnel you’re running down 
But there is no end 
You feel stranded 
With no one to save you 
Even if they wanted too 
Feeling suffocated 
How did I get to this point? 
Where I feel like I have nothing 
But to everyone looking at me 
I have everything

the life of a star is not an easy one. a little rain is needed to show that you are blessed in some areas. a liltle pain to let you know what happiness really is. but i like the way you expressed it. words somany can not even discribe. John H Loving
