The Void Within Me
A poem on how a missed opportunity can create a void in one’s life
A flurry of thoughts
Leap off my mind, sometimes
Or daily maybe
Stuck in my brain
Like a parasite
Reminds me of something
Missing
Missing within me ;
I do laugh
I grin
I chuckle
I dance around
Life’s not that harsh on me
As you might presume
But there’s a void
A void I can’t fill
I wonder
Can I bring back that zeal, somehow
Can I just unkill
What I already killed…
When did I become
So dense
So much so that it was enough
To dampen my ardour
To make me choose
What I refrained
To push me far-off
So far that I can’t go back
Or restart ;
This void…
It’s now firm
Stable and undying
It’s like that because
Of lacking a plan
Maybe it’s not late for you
Maybe you still can…
Don’t let it fade away
Promise yourself everyday
That you’re here to stay
And that There’s no other way
