Emptiness!
From the ecstatic highs to the crushing lows
From all the possibilities to shocking halts
From sweet distractions to distant resentment
From warm palpitating hearts to cold dilations
Emptiness!
From sure bets to uncertainties
From highly confident projections to demure outcomes
From late night giggles to dying flames
From righteous altruism to unexpected self-loathing
Emptiness!
From living the dream to wanting out of it
From pursuing the next dopamine high to the attainment of it
From safe spaces to discomforting abodes
From seeking truth and still not finding it
Emptiness!
From having and still wanting
From giving and not receiving
From listening but not being heard
From conception to the never-ending pursuit of 'happiness'
Why do we feel?
