Hollow Eyes

This is dedicated to all who were determined to keep me down.
Why I believed you I’ll never know,
I thank you for the strength that I have found.
There are days when it all rushes back
and I feel as if these walls are tumbling down.
Everything begins to spin again,
Broken images are all I can see.
If only those around me knew…
Of the sorrow I hide,
Behind hollow eyes.
The windows into this soul are no more,
Only a one way portal.
In the darkness I cry
No one can know of the emptiness I hold,
Deep inside these hollow eyes.

Author notes

This is not a suicidal poem at all! lol. This is about me taking a year and a half off after high school and people thinking I wasn't going to succeed. I have A's & B's in college now. I was driven to prove them all wrong and I have.

    this is so familiar to me-the way i used to feel until i kept it inside so much that it came out in a suicidal way
    so i hope you find relief and comfort in knowing that even though no one esle around you sees your pain and you feel alone -you are not alone and there is Someone who knows-
    glad to see a new write from you-i always like your disctint way of writing

    love ash♥
