Upon me, blessings fall
Life’s challenges are few
Troubles work out, all
Beyond what I am due

Following my dreams
Goals are reached with pride
I navigate life’s streams
With God my constant guide

Yet though I have so much
I lack still so much more
Hollow to the touch
Empty at the core

I’ve tried to fill the void;
And emptiness, ignore
It cannot be destroyed
Each day I feel it more

I often think about it
And ask myself again;
What caused this deep, dark pit?
How do I fill it in?

In truth, perhaps I know
Not willing to give in
Afraid to let it go,
This emptiness within
