pretty façade
October 15, 2010
Nothing feels right.
Nothing is the way it should be.
Nothing is the way it used to be.
Sometimes
that’s what I feel –
nothing.
Numb
hurt
Empty
filled with anxiety
Cold
always freezing
Alone
by myself.
Like I am nothing.
Ignored in the halls
petty questions
pretty façades
shunned
for what I no longer am,
for what I refused to give up,
for fitting out,
for not opening up.
It’s a double standard,
difficult to fulfill,
even harder to achieve
When I give zero percent.
