Empty

---

You consume yourself with distractions only to find yourself feeling emptier when the company leaves. You use things and people to make yourself forget but everything around you is just a reminder of all your regrets. You drown yourself in alcohol only to wake up the next day drowning in tears. You continuously shrink yourself because deep down you know that you’ll never be good enough. You spend so much time being there for others but when was the last time you were there for yourself? You beg others to find the self love you feel they deserve yet the day you learn how to love yourself seems like such a long way away. You want to be strong but most days you feel so weak. You play it all off like everything is okay but you and I both know that behind that warm smile lies a broken soul.
