That Deep Longing

No matter how fast paced My life may be It still seems I’m only partly living There’s a part of me That’s empty A void that feels Like a long wait A deep longing for something That means happiness to me It’s become an obsession This idea of not knowing Of not understanding What this emptiness is inside me Little by little This void is gnawing at me Spreading a shadow Of emptiness and sadness Like a mountain that calls to me A rainy day that never ends A cloudy sky that never clears Like silent tears that never dry AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted in March 25, 2018
