the hollowing:
i can feel the weight of nothing
pressing against my chest,
crushing me with the emptiness
of a life that never meant anything.
i used to search for meaning,
but now im just searching for a way out,
a way to stop the hurt
before it eats me whole.
every breath is a betrayal,
a reminder that im still here
when i dont want to be.
i cant take this weight anymore,
the heaviness of waking up
just to endure another day,
another hour,
another second of this.
im tired of the silence inside me,
the hollow echo of everything ive lost.
love, hope, joy—
ive forgotten what they feel like.
all thats left is the ache,
the unrelenting pull of the void
that calls my name every night.
and still, im here,
too afraid to leave,
too broken to stay.
i feel like im rotting from the inside out,
a shell of a person who used to care,
but now?
now i just want to disappear.
i want to tear my heart out,
rip it from my chest,
and throw it to the ground
where it belongs—
because what good is it
if it cant stop hurting?
what good is any of this
if all it does is break me
again and again?
i dont want to feel this anymore.
i dont want to be here anymore.
let the darkness swallow me whole,
let me vanish into the nothingness
thats been creeping in all along.
im done pretending i can survive this.
im done pretending i want to.
