A Cynic's Snark

The feeling of emptiness is worse than sadness

One can overcome sadness with warmth
One can overcome anger through redemption
One can overcome hatred through effort
One can even overcome disgust by feeding one's motivation

But emptiness is a black hole conceived by cynics
Perspectives turn unique but one's life is taken away
Emptiness is fascinating like a dark song's lyrics
However the personality will become twisted as it is forever led astray

A twisted style is viewed as bizarre and artistic
A form of existence to be observed from afar
A simple misconception enjoyed by the foolish

However what a cynic wishes...
Is to fill the emptiness in his heart

Thank you very much :) but I'm confused on this "weekly challenge" thing to be honest. I'm a complete beginner so I'm not very good at finding things on this site.

PS: Thanks for commenting on my profile pic, I drew it myself :)
