I got out of bed today <br />tho I really didn't want to <br />I finished reading a book today <br />tho my head could not absorb <br />it's meaning, <br />I played with the dogs outside <br />tho my heart was not into it <br />I wallow in an empty void <br />tho I really wish for fullfillment <br />I wrote a biography <br />tho I am ashamed to let anyone read it. <br />I ask all the time what is my purpose <br />tho I am afraid to find out I have none. <br />So instead, I just exist and try not to let anyone know <br />my true feelings <br />I know I do not suffer alone <br />tho it sure feels it!<br /><br />Juliette Lamoureux<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/existing-2/
