Share a smile
Shake a hand
Open your mind
Be understanding
Open a door
Pay it forward
Hope for the best
Karma will reward you
Say your prayers
Count your blessings
This life is yours –
And it’s yours for the taking!
This isn’t holding on
This isn’t letting go
It’s lingering in a place
Of nothing but unknowns
It’s not a place of healing
Or a place of pain
There aren’t conversations
Of all the ‘could-have-beens’
The sun doesn’t live here
But neither does the moon
It’s not a place for love
Or those we’ve lost too soon
No colors painted on the wall
There aren’t any exits
There’s no laughter in the background
All you hear is silence
It’s not a place for sorrow
There aren’t any memories
This place where I’ve been living –
They call it ‘Empty’.
