Empty

You walk down the halls with chatter illuminating every corner you walk through But it still feels as if you are by yourself and only yourself while your mind is filled with thoughts you would never say to another individual face to face EMPTY You walk to lunch with your stomach growling You sit down with your friends Your head shimmies down to your crossed arms You feel as if everyone is uncomfortable with your sadness and your inability to let out how you're really feeling EMPTY Eyes start watering as you stand up from the table You walk to the bathroom in a normal nonchalant way hoping no one would notice your blotchy face and scratchy voice You sit down in a stall Knees to chest Head to knees YOU FEEL EMPTY Tears fall EMPTY It rings from ear to ear The silence The wippering Even if anyone else was with you to try and resolve the situation you would still feel EMPTY So instead your alone Alone and craving for someone to fix you Knowing only you can fix the emptiness inside
