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
