a short poem about despair/hopelessness/loneliness

There is pure electricity under my skin.
Golden white light shines from my mouth
And thick black tears seep out from my eyes.
Standing one hundred feet tall
My arms reach and pierce the sky.
They seek an embrace,
But the only thing they find
Is the emptiness of space between them.
