Hollowed Out

By JadedHeart

I shed that skin today,
the skin that made me cry.

Then I left it behind, That skin that made me say goodbye.Over-absorbed, understand not,This is the skin that changed me,This is the skin which grew so hard.I felt nothing,And even now I feel nothing.I feel nothing!Empty. Hollow. Numb.Within this skin no life exists.I cannot be her anymore, She was never good enough anyway.Maybe this skin will be whole again someday.

  • A former member wrote: I can very much relate to this. This shows a persons struggles with self image perhaps and how they want to shed a new skin and become someone better than themselves. Very nicely written good job.
