I am full

Full of hopes and dreams

Yet I am empty

Empty of energy and motivation

I am full

Full of love and giving

Yet I am empty

Empty of self-love and receiving

I am full

Full of intelligence and creativity

Yet I am empty

Empty of confidence and bravery

I am full, yet empty

Stuck in the in-between

    Beautiful poem Emily, not quite so dark. Perhaps I can hold off on that smiley poem at least for now, but I will be checking back. Well Done!!!
