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.

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.
