Empty
Austin Long

The overwhelming wave of emotion rushes over.

Surrounded by a world full of people,

Yet surrounded merely by thoughts.

My mind becomes a cave 

Where all sounds echo without an exit,

Without an outlet to release,

Without an escape.

Yet my thoughts are all that allows the world to run. 

Without them, I am nothing.

I am left alone.
