A small hole

is how it starts

it widens and widens

until you're empty

empty, cold, and alone

but you've always been alone

as you look back

back upon a life wasted

on pettiness, and mistakes

the biggest your birth

demons rage around

you go silent outside

and people question

send you to others to get better

but it isn't for you

it's for them 

their luxury

and alone you go

a black shadow

a rock in a lake

alone, small

nothing in the world

nothing

nothing at all

The bitter truth is better than the sweetest lies.(Poem Book)Where stories live. Discover now
