Judy Jones - Monotonous Life

My life is void of optimism
I have become empty
At times
you can see can see Sadness quietly, curled up in a ball, in the corner
At other times
Anger rages through, ripping trees out
from their roots

Such a long, tedious process
Trying to fool yourself
In thinking I could fill this emptiness
But instead
It leaves a more vast hollowness

So here I monotonously continue on
What else can I do?
Hope is so foolish
Yet at the end of each day
I close my eyes
and wish this to be the last time I have to close them
