The Void

Categories: Change

I may conquer the world
Yet not have fulfilment.

Be brilliantly successful
Without sense of achievement.

Possess all I desire
Yet have no contentment.

Why? Why? Why?

Because a void remains
A void that still needs filling.

What can I do
To have complete satisfaction?

I try to grasp outside myself
Seeking for something bigger and better.

I steadily climb up and up
But find nothing when I reach the top.

I diligently seek for something
To fill the void within.

Where can I find it?
What is it? Who is it?
