Hollow Shell
This is it; I’m done
My heart still beats, yet no warmth flows through my veins
My face is an emotionless mask, and I feel nothing inside
Tears pour from my eyes, yet they offer no relief
From the pain and torment I’ve subjected myself to
Life is cruel, and I’m merely one of its foolish victims
I’ve irrevocably damaged the lives of the people who matter to me
No matter what I say or do, I can never make up for it
I’m in a dark and unstable place
I can’t find the light and set myself free
Life isn’t worth living with this pain I’m going through
So why not just end it all with two momentary pains?
And watch my life bleed out of this hollow shell of the person I once was.

Live to write...write to live. Forget the useless past and be renewed by each and every new moment, that you can craft to your liking. Don't deny this world your talent and beauty for to do so will do no one any good. Sigue adelante...sigue escribiendo...cantando tu canción única.

The past is very hard to let go of, but once it's done, we can look forward to a bright and hopeful future. Life's hard right now, but I'm not ready to give up.
Muchas gracias por tus palabras. Quiero seguir escribiendo.

As I grow more experienced with life I understand better that "this too shall pass" is more than just a cheer-you-up phrase.

Hello Gahddess. I'd appreciate you voting for my poem in the "I am in such anguish that I could die" competition.

Oh! My lovely light! I didn’t know about this new piece of yours until after I sent you that series of pm’s with news I was so ecstatic to tell you about! And several were sent after you were offline (and I didn’t know till after the fact). So now I don’t know what to do/ think... I’m just filled with much concern for you now, and nothing else. I can’t imagine what’s happened, but whatever it is... please...
come back.

come back.

I'm going through a hard time (who isn't/hasn't). My mind's in a dark place right now, but I'm not ready to give up.
I appreciate your concern, dearest Jade. I'm still here, haha, I just put my computer to sleep.

in the winter it can rain here every day for a month...short, dark days with the pervading greyness everywhere...and then the Sun comes out and weeks of gloom are forgotten in an instant...as a wise man whom I know once said 'shit happens...life goes on...

The shit's happening now. I'm just anxiously looking forward to moving on with my life.
Thanks for your comment, Lawrence.
