Empty souls

Trying to fill the hole

The void

All to avoid the reality

There is no amount of alcohol, drugs, or roids to make the pain go away

No amount of likes on your post

Will ever take away what you want most

A connection

From the years of abuse and neglect

Tattoos and gym bruises

Are all useless

If you don’t heal yourself from the inside out

    Hopfully sharing your thoughts helos

  • Absolutely true. Though sometimes sensitive souls who note the inner struggles & turmoil can help with the healing process by offering connection.
