Why Go On

In the bleak abyss that is my mind
I search and struggle just to find
Some tiny hope or a reason to live
Some spark or just a  to give

Nothing left inside my heart
Been destroyed and blown apart
Just a phantom shell remains
A picture of it's sad remains

In the world, I seem ok
Walking, talking every day
All motion, meaningless, rote
Each poem I write, another death note

Just another day, and I'm not ok
But I keep on breathing anyway

I'm hope you find optimism, or at least peace.
