If i gave this empty feeling a name to beckon, call, cry or scream I would force myself to acknowledge it’s presence. To acknowledge the crushing weight that clings to my neck like a noose. I would be forced to call this weight my own, I would be forced to proclaim it mine and face it's tightening hold The more I plunge myself into the depths of my emptiness. I would fear i would come to fix it, To acknowledge that i am not okay, That my saran wrapped skin is on display for you, For anyone to bear witness to my path of self-destruction To watch me to put myself together again and Fear who I can be without this empty feeling I've made a home in.
