Shallow Abyss
I always try to shake this feeling
Yet it kept on creeping inside of me
That of being lonely not knowing why
Emptiness no one and nothing can fill
I don’t want it but it’s what I bear
Foolish wistfulness or sheer ennui
At an age when none is challenging
At a time when everything is routine
Atypical of a Gemini as I am
I can’t stand static intransience
I want to float in the air and fly
To be in the open ocean and swim
But for what, I do not exactly know
For when the tears fall I always ask why
Why do I crave for life when I am alive?
Why do I feel empty when I am full of me?
Suddenly adrift in a shallow abyss
For thoughts that were unfulfilled
Things I should have done but haven’t
Times that should have been well spent
But I had overcome all that, or have I?
Sometimes the brain mars how we feel
Vague emotions bursting pointless tears
For what I cannot twig…I will just weep!
