sometimes i feel hollow like i don't have bones or blood or organs or anything inside all that i am is a hollow human being where dread and panic and anxiety can easily ricochet around, making me ache from the inside out it starts with a pang, where my heart is supposed to be. and then spreads like wildfire across my skin, through my chest, along my arms and down my legs. into the tips of my fingers and toes, burning my ears and catching in my throat. and all that's inside of me is this hurt. sometimes i feel hollow, like a lonely, old oak tree that's been zapped by lightning one too many times. he still stands, strong and proud but electricity tingles and makes him feel vulnerable every now and then. sometimes i feel hollow and broken up inside sometimes i feel hollow like i can hear an echo when i talk, my words just bounce around with no purpose or drive sometimes i feel hollow like a needle could make me burst sometimes i feel hollow like all i am is an empty shell sometimes i feel hollow
