Emptiness

Sometimes you start your day with an insipid smile
You wonder why you are here
Is it fate or just bad timing
Alas ! You do not feel anything

You search and search for the meaning of life
From the work that you do to the friends that you keep
You look for some divine intervention
Someone to give you a sign that you are on the right path

You feel lost to the cause you hold so dear
You look back and pieces of your life unclear
Its not sadness that has you in its grip
Its a feeling awash without a feeling

You gather yourself up
Trying to move forward
Suddenly you find yourself
Stiff and static

You cant move an inch
Is it hallucination
Or is it just your dying inspiration
You frantically make way for one cogent thought

You fail
Yes you fail time and again
You try to move on
Holding onto your last shreds of sanity

You cry for help
To dear god or the devil
There not an ounce of courage that you can muster
Not a bushel of hope

You are on your own
In this maddening abyss
You look forward
To the promise of  one more day

You realize that you are slipping into
One of your long cherished slumber
Is it the end you ask yourself
Or is it just the beginning for good times to come..
