Emptiness

emptiness is consuming young souls
they have darken the color of their tears
for they feel nothing but empty inside
for years unknown, not seen, not heard
they feel helpless, despair, nothing but empty
yet no one knows, no one knows but them
the tears in their eyes,wet their cheeks,lips,palms
silent screams from their throat, echo out like nothing
powerful voices in their head, singing, screaming
kill me, kill me
that's what they said
kill me, kill me
whats the point
if I am empty there is no point
everything is pointless
therefore I say; kill me kill me I am empty
