A Little Too Full/Complain of Emptiness

I'm a little too full to complain of emptiness,
But my sides will fold in at the slightest distress.
How many restless nights will I reduce
To another new story, a proximal excuse?
How many wakings in sickening dread
Will I blame on fatigue, or the flu, or my head?
How many angst-ridden rhymes will I write
Before I find answers, the end of the line?

The problem is, I don't know where to start.
Am I missing someone, or my own Grinch-sized heart?
Am I craving a challenge, some new summit to climb,
Or should I search for serendipity–people, places and times?
I think we all have a monster to feed.
We don't know what we're looking for,
We just know that we need.
