Echoes of Laughter
Unraveling the Threads of Emptiness
Every night, as the world outside my window descends into darkness, a part of me dies.
The desire that once fueled my spirit and sparked a fire within me dwindles and flickers out. It’s a slow process, like watching a candle melt away, drop by drop until there’s nothing left but a hollow shell.
I find myself sinking into an abyss, a bleak, desolate world where life has no meaning, no purpose. It’s a world painted in shades of black and gray, where joy and laughter have no place.
Each day, I wake up to this reality, the desire to live, to smile, to seek new beginnings slowly fading away.
Beginnings are supposed to be filled with hope, promise, and excitement. Like a newborn taking its first breath, embracing life with open arms. But my beginnings? They’re like a child who surrenders his spirit after the first breath. They’re born only to die almost immediately, mirroring my waning will to move forward.
I feel like an empty vessel, lost in a vast ocean with no land in sight. I’m searching for a place to call home, for a glimmer of hope in this endless sea of despair. I’m yearning for a time that seems to have slipped through my fingers, a time when I felt alive when my heart wasn’t just a hollow echo of what it used to be.
