Hollow

Casey Stratton

It's so quiet

Walking along the edge

It won't be long now

Til I forget who I am



I am so afraid

To move forward

All these mistakes I've made

Surround me



So I run away

I cannont face

What I'm throwing away

It's just as well

You could always tell

When I was hollow



I never asked for this

Happy just to breathe

But now what I've done here

Means nothing to me



I look inside and

I feel so small

I am never good enough

To become what you already are



So I run away

I cannont face

What I'm throwing away

It's just as well

You could always tell

When I was hollow

So once again

I have let you win

The game of giving me a voice

The pill has been swallowed

But I am still hollow



I look back upon my life

And see what's been denied

And I try to face it

But I can never seem to erase it
