I can feel a void inside of me.
Like a hunger that no food can satisfy.
I try eating until I can't anymore,
But it's still there.

I can feel a void inside of me.
Like I've eaten too much.
I need to starve it away,
But it's still there.

I can feel a void inside of me.
Like I will collapse from exhaustion.
I sleep for hours,
But it's still there.

I can feel a void inside of me.
Like the need to keep going.
I work until I can't see anymore,
But it's still there.

I can feel a void inside of me.
Like the whispers of a dream dancing away.
I grasp desperately for it,
But it's still there.

I cannot touch it.
I cannot see it.
I cannot smell it.
I cannot hear it.
I cannot taste it.
But I know it's there.

The void is a birds nest
And I am the young bird
Who cannot take flight.
If I stay I shall be smothered
If I flee I shall fall.

The void is a hole.
The void is the constant presence of nothing.
The void is where the missing puzzle piece belongs.
The void is the longing for something different.
The void is the need for consistency.
The void is the fear of something new.

The void is consuming my soul.
I am afraid if it
I embrace it.
I run from it.
I welcome it.
I hate it.
I need it.
I hate that I need it.
The void is inescapable.
I cannot defeat it alone.
The void is love.
