Hollow
I can feel myself slowly shutting down,
it feels like insanity really.
I can hear the beat of my heart echo in my ears, almost like i'm hollow...
I feel like i need to check...
I feel as empty as I sound,
I can't seem to be truly be happy anymore,
even when i think i am, I still feel a emptiness clawing at the back of my mind.
A void eating away at everything.
Im not sure how to handle it anymore.
For years on years I ignored it, denied it, but that's not working anymore.
I write, I draw, anything to get this down on paper, hoping that it will somehow magically disappear,
convincing myself of it.
I can't seem to get it right though,
there's always a detail missed,
a word unwritten,
so I don't try alot anymore.
I don't know why i'm writing this, now that I let it get so bad.
I know im broken, I know it's my fault and there's no fixing me but,
I still feel this needs to be written, and as I write this, I feel numb.
I should at least feel a little sad,
something,
anything.
But I don't.
I don't wanna put on my facade anymore, I don't wanna say im ok, i just wanna sit, and think. I want to go deep into my mind and find this thing stealing my emotions, and I want to climb into it,
and finally have silence.
