Empty

He doesn't know that there is another way

Everything he's tried won't work

He thinks that money will buy him happiness

He thinks that finding his talent will show the world

 Yet the hole remains

All the empty space

The world is crashing in around him

He drowns because of the sorrow

He thinks he will drink his pain away

Yet it doesn't go away

It just becomes deeper

He can't get rid of it

A bigger hole remains

Emptiness is all he can find

Empty beer bottles

Empty dreams

Empty promises....

The alcohol isn't the answer

He only craves more

The drugs aren't the answer

The addictions only become bigger and bigger in his life

Gambling to get what he thinks he needs

Yet the hole in his heart remains

It hurts so much

And he aches so

But does he really know

What the answer is in his life?

He's learned that pride isn't the answer

It only led him to destruction

Drinking won't stop the tears

That stream down his face

Nor will it numb his pain
 

The empty bottles lay scattered across the floor

Parties with people that he won't even remember
Nights with women whose names he didn't know

The tears never stop

The hurt never ceases

The hole in his heart stabs harder

He falls deeper and deeper into sin

He doesn't know what caused it

He tries hard to push against the walls

But he can't knock them down                        

The empty room only gets smaller

And it's getting harder to breathe

Because he can't run away........

He knows that something is wrong with him

That something is wrong with the world

He realizes that everyone tries to give him something to fill him up
Yet, he still feels alone

He doesn't realize WHO can fill him up

Who can take his pain and emptiness away

So, he falls deeper and deeper

And it's that much harder to find happiness
because everything seems empty

The pictures begin to disappear from the frames on the wall

He stumbles along through the road of life

Not knowing which way to go

Confused

He stops at the intersection staring at which direction to take

Hurt cause he's falling

Crumbling....

Suffocating.....

Getting harder to breathe

Running from everything he's tried to make him happy

He wrestles in his own sin

The bottle isn't the answer

It just becomes empty

The world screams at him that everyone is that way

He thinks he has no choice

But to live life like he is

While his life rushes by him

And he cries

His years are whizzing by

Sobbing

Choking tears back

That he's tried to hide

But he can't hide them anymore

Cause he can't find the answer

To to why his heart hurts so much

He falls apart in an empty room

Tears fall upon the floor

He falls on his face wanting more

He needs Jesus

He is the One that will fill this emptiness up

God is the one who can truly give him happiness

He needs Jesus

He need His love

His mercy

How he needs to see God's love

But does he know of God's grace?
Does he know that Jesus is the ONLY way

The answer to his pain.....

Will someone tell him of the One that gave his life so that we can have life?

He lay there suffocating

Thinking emptiness is all there is to life

Everything comes crashing down

The empty pictures frames fall off the walls

Glass shatters all around him

He sobs desperately

Falling apart inside

With all the hurt that he is trying to hide

"I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.

No man comes to the Father except through me." -John 14:6

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. " -John 3:16-18
