“Becoming” by The Boy
There was an emptiness I allowed inside me.
I allowed the world to tell me I was not whole.
So I looked for a connection
and, in my desperation, I destroyed them one by one
looking for a feeling I could not get from anyone…
but myself.
The emptiness is still with me; it is my constant.
So I pray to God to fill it
but my mind already knows only I can do that.
The answer was in front of me all along.
The emptiness can’t be filled by one person.
It can only be filled by the world
I have to become the world so I can become whole.
