The Hollow Within

The Hollow Within

By ElliePublished 9 months ago 1 min read

These days, I don't want to do anything.

Everything feels empty.

I just want to stare at the sky all day.

While gazing upward, I feel fragments of peace.

I don't want to be around anyone.

I want to live alone, to disappear into sorrow.

I know nobody will find me.

I feel like a walking shell,

My soul having already left me.

I don't want to be like this.

I want to discover what's happening inside me.

Something feels missing,

But I can't identify what it is.

Maybe if I knew which part was missing,

I could find it.

But I don't know.

I just don't know.

About the Creator

Ellie

I write the whispers of the soul—silent battles, untold dreams, and echoes of resilience. Let my words speak what hearts often leave unspoken. If you seek words that echo your heart, welcome to my world.
