The Emptiness Within

How poignant is the hallow

The dissatisfaction is dominant

The optimism is shallow

The darkness is prominent



The ethereal vacuum

The convincing façade

Drowning in a deep gloom

Sinking beneath moist sod



The spark obscure

The flame is extinguishing

The unhappiness lures

An end I am wishing



No great expectations

Pessimism is presiding

Feelings of desperation

Apparently not subsiding



Negativity reigns

An endless sorrow

Motivation wanes

Not eager for tomorrow



My heart is moaning

My body requests vitality

My soul is quietly going

My mind senses fatality



The biggest room vacant

The room for improvement

I do not awaken

No particles of inspiration



No escaping

I asphyxiate in sin

My hopes are draping

How consuming is

The emptiness within

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It's self explanatory. I was feeling really sad and depressed.

Nicely done. I like the second to last staza best, and I adore the rhyme scheme as well.
