Fill My Heart With?

What should
I fill my heart
With..?

I
Have
Filled it
With
Love
For Someone one else.
Never saving room for myself.

What Should I
Fill my heart with?
Shall I fill it with Poetry
Shall I fill it with Natures Beauty
Shall I fill it with the kinship
 of friendship
Shall I fill it with music?

I’ve got this empty hole inside me.
Spiraling into the core of me.
Internally it is me who I despise 

Shall I fill it with false Idols
Shall I fill it with men’s lies
Shall I fill it with my own objectification?
Shall I fill it with strength?
Harnessed by my Soul

Shall I fill it with the kindness of strangers?
Shall I fill it with, daydreams?
Or quotes from movies
Internally it is me who I despise 
Reality is tough, living is not easy.

What shall I fill my heart with??
Uncharted country
Lifelong Journey
No Promise of Security
What should I fill my heart with?
 With the essence of ME!
