Empty Spaces

I hope wisdom
Comes to
Empty spaces

And pure gold

Is found
In waiting

Because though I know

Not to rush in
And fill
What is empty

Sitting

With emptiness
Hurts

But it all hurts anyway

The emptiness hurts

As much as
The vain attempts to
Fill it

So I won’t

Be ashamed
Or afraid
Of my emptiness

I will learn
To own
My empty spaces

So that

My empty spaces
Don’t own me
