The Shell

8 1 0
                                    

It's like someone has reached
down my throat
and taken out
everything.
Leaving me
as hollow
as a shell,
But the real me
is still inside my head.
Screaming.
And shouting.
And crying.
But the shell isn't responding.
The shell is nothing.
The shell is death.
The shell is all there is left.
