Bandaid: A Collection Of Poems

contradictions

It's surprising how emptiness can feel so heavy
How silence can be so loud
How I'm busy but I'm bored
How I'm alone but in a crowd
How I'm tired but wide awake
How I'm alive but I feel dead
How I'm smiling but I'm not happy
How I'm at peace with all this dread
How I'm lonely but ignoring
everyone I love
How I smile at my reflection
Yet I hate what I've become
