After living this way

For a year now

I've made drastic adaptations

To survive.

Over time

My feelings, thoughts

And all love

Drained painfully out of me.

So now I don't feel

Anything at all

No matter what

They do to me.

I've developed a

Hard, indestructable shell

No one gets in

It holds me together.

This way no one

Can see my sorrow

It's hidden under

This thick, tough mask.

For now

I can survive this wilderness

But should my shell

Get broken,

My entire being

Would collapse,

Because I've got nothing left inside,

I'm hollow.
