	So Empty Katherine, Age 13, Reston, VA

I am so empty.
My soul has disappeared.
I’m so hollow inside.
I am a void.

I wasn’t always like this,
No.
I used to smile, laugh, and
Cry, with the rest of them

These things happen.
Your emotions get
Old, weary, and used, until
You can’t feel them any more.

My actions are mechanical.
It is said that I am cold.
I should feel upset by that,
But I don’t.

I can’t feel anymore.
It’s like I’m
Numb forevermore.
My emotions are torn away from me.

The rain is just like me,
Falling forever.
Cool, calm, falling,
Just falling forever.

I’m an empty shell.
There’s no more love or emotion left in me.
There’s only a tear or two, from
When I used to cry.

I wish that I could
Stop falling.
I wish that I could
Start flying.

I’ve wept too much,
Bled too much,
Screamed too much,
I cannot anymore.

I’m so empty
And I’ll be empty,
Forever more. I’ll feel
Emotions nevermore.

Nevermore.
