I felt hollow
No, I felt like I’d been
Hollowed out.
I used to be whole
Something inside me.
Now I was just
The outer shell
My insides scraped out
And thrown aside
A human jack o’lantern.
But this jack o’lantern
Couldn’t carve even a smile
Onto her face.
There was nothing inside
Anymore.

short poem
Things That are Wrong with Me
What’s wrong with me?
That’s what you’d ask
I still ask it too.
My mind
My heart
But most of all
All the leftover fragments
Of you.

Your expectations
I never claimed
To be perfect
You just never heard me
Over the chorus
Of your expectations.
