I am 

empty

hollow

yet filled

to the brim

with thoughts

memories

I feel

loved

hated

yet full

of pure

nothingness

I try

try to smile

try to find

the point of life

but Answers doesn't

seem like it wants

to reply

demons

fill my head

hatred

in my heart

yet I feel

love

in my soul

and life

in my mind

empty

the feeling of feeling

                       absolutely nothing.

Be happy, not because everything you see is good, but because you can see the good in everything.

This piece is amazing, it truly expresses the emotions, or lack thereof, in words; something that isn't too easy. I love it. Keep writing!
