[bodytext] => You cannot empty me
For I am already empty
Happiness was lost slowly
This time…
Yet it was still all emptied again
I thought it would go away
That feeling from before
Wasn’t supposed to come back
I felt it coming
I wanted to ignore that too
I was trying
But it came
And took over what I felt
It became a monster
I started freaking out
I was supposed to be better
To be happy
But I can’t
I will always end up empty
Filling up on occasion
Emptying out as I take in more air
The air is not pure
Is not healthy to breathe
It was infected
With other’s diseases
That I breathed in
Yet thought it was pure
But knew it wasn’t
But thought I was, could be immune
I should’ve known…
That I was not…
I became infected…

A Glass Of Poison

You shouldn't try to keep everything inside Summer you need to let things out once in awile. Being an independant person is fine but that doesnt mean you can't use some help now and then. But maybe i'm wrong to say things i might not even know about. I've known you long enough to make mistakes about what you feel and what you're going through, any old feeling you've had will come back i should know that all to well. If I can do anything to help you with what you're going through you know where to reach me xoxo. Great poem by the way.
