empty


this static brain flatlines on all lengths
showing me nothing inside.
testing the best to find our strength
glittering bright but longing to hide.

risking my will to win
on a chanceful fancy,
i parade my forced out grin
resting it all on what it so chancy.

take my fill of what's not there,
drink to tomorrow's destitution.
this crashes in with graceful flare
spilling everything full of my pollution.

i am empty to the world,
empty to the heart,
empty to this gurl.
i am empty to your call,
empty to your love,
empty...empty when i fall.


now im alone, but not lonely like before

"take my fill of what's not there,

^ That my friend was my favorite line.  It didn't feel forced out... I guess my constructive critique would be to just write from your heart, don't worry about rhyming or anything... Because it's not the rhymes that make the poem so wonderful, it's the true heart and feeling of it. But overall for the most part I enjoyed reading this, and I hope you keep writing and keep posting! Thanks for sharing!!
