I feel empty, I said
That’s okay, you answered
We all have these moments
They signify something else
They say you’re not listening
Or listening too hard
It’s okay, to feel empty sometimes.

I don’t know what to do, I said
That’s okay, you answered
We all have these moments
Don’t let your mean thoughts get to you
Don’t let them go round and round
You’re spectacular
It’s okay, they are just thoughts.

Remember this, always.
