Emptiness
by Assad Malik
You appear friend
to all
Using flattery
and manipulation
I see you for
what you really are
Know what your
trying to do
But won't take
the fall
Preying on people's
weakenesses
Doing it, ever
so subtly
Receiving joy
from their misfortunes
I won't let you
do that to me
My belief in
the greater, a faith in the supreme, is my greatest strength no one can
destroy
Spirit, mind,
and body provide a barrier that even you cannot penetrate
There is an emptiness
within you
That causes your
sorrow
Can't stand to
see others happy
It's a reminder
of what you're missing
You attempt to
take their happiness
To fill your
black void
Instead, it expands
Growing larger
than before
A belief in the
larger, gives you the hope
To help others,
as well as, yourself.
Create the happiness
from within
Enjoy the simple
pleasures of life
And say a prayer
for guidance
For the great
spirit helps those who allow her
To enter their
hearts
