I feel we all have this gaping hole inside of us. Screaming out, waiting for its meaning to come alive, Waiting for it to finally be fulfilled. Like when you wish upon a star You’re patient enough to wait to witness The possible outcome. If there is one. It is a never ending flame, Begging for oxygen Desiring to grow and expand, To be sufficient, with something new. Something different. It eats at us again … and again And through life We are left with that hole of nothing. Preventing ourselves to fill it. Constantly, it tries to reach out to us But we ignore the invitation to dance with something we know nothing of. Only because change is scary. Change is something we pretend we are used to But if we were all really used to it By now, That hole could have been filled. Maybe it lacks the feeling of care Or a feeling of love, or protection. Or a feeling we know nothing of. A feeling that we have no experience dealing with. A feeling we are scared to discover. Is it really possible to patch up this hole with the other emotions we know? The ones we have already accommodated to. The ones we are comfortable with. Maybe the hole is supposed to be filled with nothing. As if the nothingness is supposed to feel like something. It is the invisible feeling we pretend is a stranger. But we all know the feeling of nothing. The feeling of absolute emptiness. The feeling that breaks the silence in your head to be recognized. The loneliness that aches inside that little hole Waiting for something to complete it again.
