You and You and You and Whoever You Are
January 22, 2011
I feel so empty
Sometimes
When I'm alone
Without you
You guys
My peeps
The four of you
The five of us
My friends
I'll sit down
Feeling little toads in my throat
Tying knots around butterflies
In my belly
The Romulans are drilling a hole in my chest
Shooting in the red matter
I'm losing my soul
I'm so empty
Or at least,
Empty is how I feel
Then I remember you
and you
and you
And whoever you are
I remember
That we are all so full
Overflowing
With beautiful things
Inside and Out

This is exactly how I feel sometimes :) You got it just right :)
And then I think about my friends. The people who love me. And I remember. That we are all full of beautiful things.
Everyone is worth something. Everyone is worth a lot, actually.
