Void

Sadness

Casey
Tonight I feel void

Void of emotions

Feelings

Everything besides sadness

I don't know why

Maybe the fact that I cannot find a job

Or the fact that I'm put down everyday

That my fiancé is becoming increasingly bitter

Having to take care of me

I feel like a burden to the world

I'm wondering why I am here

I know that I'm alive for a reason

For there was many chances for me to die

But why the emptiness

Loneliness

I'm homesick

Although I should be used to it

I've felt homesick since I was a child

Never knowing why

The only time it fades

Is when I'm with my beloved

But it's getting harder to fight these feelings

I feel as if the world is crashing down only on me

    Well, you're definitely not alone in those feelings...that's a small bit of comfort I can pass along. Keep plugging along girl...things will look up soon.
