Shy

Squeezed by a shadow until there's nothing left to breathe.                                                                                                          the confusion of love and apathy.                                                                                                            Confronting myths to avoid the truth of denial.                                                                                                             No thoughts beyond a manufactured reality,                                                                                                            Question of what's now and used to be.                                                                                                                  drawn in to experience any emotion, filling a feeling, it's still empty inside.                                                                                                             Below a version of self-denial and indulgence, empathy will hide.
