Inside myself I'm all alone <br />This girl has been spared no storm <br />The pain is often too great to bear <br />Yet in the lonliness I am aware <br />I have a void deep down inside <br />And I fear it's growing wide <br />Will I ever feel some bliss? <br />Can pain be removed from the emotional list? <br />This emptiness that I endure <br />Over and over again it returns <br />Always I'm the only one there <br />When my emotions reach a deep despair <br />An overwhelming feeling of beind trapped <br />My exit has yet to be mapped <br />So where will I go from here? <br />I'll overpower my undying fear.<br /><br />Jessica Thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-void-8/
