I look all around me
All I see is darkness.
Different shades of black
Slowly enclosing around me.
I look in the mirror
All I see is a hollow body.
Empty and Lonely.
No smiles,
No happiness,
No love,
No friendships...
A sad fragile mistake.
Full of lifeless breaths.
The significance of a misprint..
A broken being.

I wrote this after deciding it was time to turn a new leaf... let out my true feelings and say goodbye to the past.

Great poem! I can totally relate. Everyone goes through this at one point in their lives! Good job on putting how you truly felt into detailed, descriptive words.
