A hole inside my heart Big; hollow; dark; Has always been there Never thought I should care
Covers up over time Naive were the thoughts of mine To think about a better place With hope and love no pain and sorrows
Things I can not achieve No matter how hard I try; imagine and believe Still a hole inside my heart Big, hollow and dark Emptiness
We are trying to overcome Our problems and flaws We think they hold us strong within their claws Wishing we could change ourselves Knowing we will fail trying
This is my very first poem I've ever written. It also is one of my favorites. It can be interpretated in different ways. It is about trying to change the world for a better and seeing oneself failing in the process to do so. It is also about trying to change the very own personality to a better but finding oneself unable to do so and proceeding in falling into old habits that were thought to be overcome. Pain is playing an important role in this poem, which can sometimes knock you down. However even in the darkest moments one should not give up.
