I'm quiet inside
no thoughts
no words
to say.

I suffocate myself
with nothing.
There was never anything.
or was there?

Did I once feel something
even pain
or hurt.

Clawing
scratching
breath comes too fast.
Masks.

A pretty face.
Pretty smiles.
Happy words.
Nothing is real,
anymore.

Dear dark space,
will you let me feel?
