Shakespeare

I am drowning in a sea of nonexistence For I am fading but no one can see it I am empty inside There is nothing left All they see is the broken shell Of the girl I have become So I put on a smile And don’t let them see What’s missing I don’t let them see How everything I try to fill my void with Comes back out as a spray of vomit How my emptiness is stronger than any substance Stronger than any pill they choose to fill it I don’t let them see Anything but my smile And my lies I can’t help it For as they say All the world’s a stage No wonder I’m acting
