The Search

I've drowned the flood
And blackened my blood
I could rip open the sky
And make all the angels cry
I could forever storm the earth
Undertaking a life long search
Always looking for what I seek
From valley low to mountain peak
I could even drain all the seas
And still feel that empty void in me

Yes I have felt the void before. And if I looked it would just seem to get bigger.

I know now the void is when I will my emotions to seize to be. When I start to feel again the void starts to fill.

Good write. The void is the real you, your true self; to be only found within.

Kat,
Really great poem. I think we have all been there at some point. You'll figure it out. I wish you the best. Take care.

Thanks for all the comments. I think that my void is inner peace, I know what it is but am still trying to achieve it.

That may be a very simple thing..but sometimes we search just for big things and not the simple..and most beautiful
