strength is the emptiness that fills            and claws from the inside strength is standing on two feet             and shaking strength is a spinning head             and an empty mind strength is dark shadows underneath empty eyes            and one, two, three, four ribs they see strength is feeling life slowly deteriorate             and slip through bony fingers color draining from sunken cheeks pale skin falling away from fragile bones shallow breaths puffing through a broken body heavy eyelids raising against the struggle              and seeing

the body is a weapon
strength is the emptiness that fills            and claws from the inside strength is standing on two feet             and shaking strength is a spinning head             and an empty mind strength is dark shadows underneath empty eyes            and one, two, three, four ribs they see strength is feeling life slowly deteriorate             and slip through bony fingers color draining from sunken cheeks pale skin falling away from fragile bones shallow breaths puffing through a broken body heavy eyelids raising against the struggle              and seeing
