Sensibly Dealing With Emptiness A Poem


Written in 2015

Something someone said to me,
It made sense,
Once it sunk in.
He said that I might have an emptiness
But I should not fill it with just anything.

It is true
I have been finding distractions
I have been filling the void with nonsense
Stuff that had little value
That I would not like for the long haul.

I am talking in abstracts,
I am not being specific
Do you really need to know the details
Of my utter idiocy
And just how stupid
I have been lately?

Suffice it to say
That this talk of sensibility
Was very unexpected,
It was not welcome then
I shooed it away as soon as it was mentioned,
But later I thought that I could indeed
Be a better me,
Be a better version,
If I just followed his advice,
And just showed that I cared enough
To be a little more patient,
And a little less desperate.

The conversation had to do with my being promiscuous and not finding a more meaningful partnership. Ha! That has not changed in 4 years.
