empty

I am just a robot1

Moving through life2

Typing without thought3

Mechanical and logical4

Living without heart5

Every day passes me by6

And life goes on7

Why am I still alive8

Living without thought9

Why do I go on10

Without any reason11

Why does it not end12

If I can not feel13

My life is empty14

My mind is empty15

My heart is empty16

So what is the point17

Why am I still here?18

If I must live19

Why can't I be happy?20

If I can't die21

Why do all the good things22

Last only a short while23

And the emptiness return?24

I can not escape it25

It's futile to try 26

The world is oppressive27

And I am just a small part28

Insignificant to all29

I am just here30

Waiting31

For death

    wow this cuts deep. this poem is very depressing, but a good depressing. the kind that makes you ask the question "why?"
    very very good job

    Very sharp emotions. Very depressive. Simple words of the poem hits home hard. Coincidentally, I have a story named Empty, too. But it's in a completely different dimension. Keep Writing!

    the poem is good in meaning I can relate...that's my past but still....not the point at all but it's very repeative...My life is empty14

    My mind is empty15

    My heart is empty16
    ...like I said good but the fact that you repeat things so much takes away from it

      thanks, I guess when you get empty and can't think of things to say you get repetitive.

      Well, it's not how I want to think or feel. I don't have much choice in the matter. But thank you anyway.
