emptiness surrounds me
completely and entirely.
I feel utterly alone even
though I am surrounded by
a group of people.
lost in thought,
all I hear is silence
and the buzzing of the
fluorescent lights overhead.
I focus on the pain in
my wrist and the ache
that forever lingers in my chest.
exhaustion has become
overpowering, making it
difficult to concentrate.
the vast emptiness
of my life grows larger.
all I wanted was
someone to catch my fall.
