"Everyone goes 'round a bit empty inside ... "
Actually I'm here today not to talk about that sinking feeling ... but instead about a similar one. That empty feeling.
Everyone knows it, and if you are one of the rare few who don't I truly envy you. It's that moment when you just have nothing left. You're hollowed out like a dead tree. All your joy, hope, belief, it's all drained out of you. You can't even muster up any anger, even in situations where you should be screaming at the top of your lungs and looking for the nearest blunt object to inflict pain with. There's just nothing left. You're spent. Dried up. Used to the point that you're just a shell.
But the worst part ... is the last thing to go and the first to come back. The sorrow. When it's all you can feel, it's truly soul crushing. But you have to wade through it if you're going to come back from that numb deadness.
I wish it happened less often.
