The Void

They say, the world is full-
Full of beauty, pleasantries,
Full of second chances, options and choices.
Not just the world actually.
The universe too.
It is magnificent.
It’s full of galaxies, stars, comets-
Meteors, planets, moons and all.

Not only that, actually.
The world is full of pain,
Agony is right outside of us.
It varies from people to people,
But it’s there.

But, what I feel is this.
Empty!
Blank, null, void.
Absolutely nothing!

If the world is full,
Why isn’t it offering something?
Why do I not feel a thing?
It’s like nothing is left inside of me.
Who/what drained me out?
Who sucked the meaning of light out of me?

And here’s what I wonder about-
Can you fill the void?
Can it be filled again?
Don’t be foolish!
Just because it’s empty-
It doesn’t mean you can pour anything into it.
I’m just wondering!

Here’s to all of us who feel void inside of us🥂
