A void yet to fill

Continuous ache.

By Jordan ZunigaPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Toil for you bread, thirst for water day by day,

The satisfaction of desire, the quenching of your thirst,

Payment for your labor to spend about as you please,

Helping the starving beggar that pleads upon his knees,

Inspiration towards a new pursuit, a dream yet to reveal,

The temporary relieving, of the pain you still conceal,

The hollow hole of emptiness, the bitter empty shell,

The hopelessness and despair, the indwelling hell,

Depression and callous, harsh and without remorse,

Cold as a blizzard storming the mountain, without another course,

Search and seek after the wind, only then to find,

A repetitive action, meaningless to the mind…

And yet, you have just begun to realize, this is just the start,

“Something is, missing… Deep within my heart.”
