I live in this hollow shell,
Filled with emotions
Each one unknown
Secret in a way,
Hiding itself from me.
I live among the sorrow of myself
Trying to hide and run away
But yet I stay,
Crying every time.
Weak and unstable
I lay on my bed and pray
Hope to God this will all go away.
Cry myself to sleep,
And feel the emotions stir,
Trying to vex me,
This unstable me.
A lost and safe slumber waves
Over this hollow body,
Soothing the emotions
And choking the madness.
Woken and stirring,
Weak and shaky,
Emotions still hidden
I don't know how to describe them
To detail each one.
I go on like I don't know them.
Cry myself away in another lost world
Matching my own,
Looking for a cure
Wishing for something or someone
To help me stand.
Close my eyes
Count to five,
Go back to cry
I pray this emotion will die
This drama will cease,
One day in an oblivion.
Facts and truths line up
No better than a wretch,
But still here listening and praying
Pleading for an escape.
Wanting a comfort to hold,
Needing someone to help hide me
Someone to help dry-
Lonely red eyes...

This filled me with sadness and rage all at once. Sadness at the plight, rage at the eternal struggle to cope.
Nice submission!

Weak Emotion...
Wow. I'm at a loss for words. I hope that you don't really feel this way. If you don't, this poem really shows how well you can delve into the mind of someone like this. If you do, PLEASE lighten up. You make me want to cry!
Each one unkown [unknown]
Secret in [a] way
Crying everytime [every time]
And feel the emotions stirr [stir]
And chokeing [choking] the maddness [madness]
Weak and shakey [shaky]
One day in an oblivian [oblivion]
I really found this to be sad...and I'm not kidding. If you need a friend, you know that you can always lean on me. After all, what's family for?
