My mind is shallow

Dark and sad

My heart feels hollow

Nothing is glad

I feel empty

My tears are falling

A hug is not plenty

It’s just stalling

Stalling my emotions

To stay away from fear

Keep away from devotions

My eyes do not see clear

From all of the tears

Built up over the years

I look at myself in the mirror

And I cannot hear.
