Hollow Girl

Just sharing a poem from my dark days. Apparently I was pretty good at poetry, just not making it so pretty....

Hollow Girl
By
Tabbie Porter

I am a girl who is hollow
I wonder where emotions come from
I hear the cries of others in the whistling wind
I see the walking dead
I want peace between heaven and hell
I am a girl who is hollow.

I pretend to see what others don't
I feel the presence of the Gods below me
I touch the fire beneath the Earth's crust
I worry about the fears that surround me
I cry at the thought of departure
I am a girl who is hollow.

I understand the hatred in their eyes
I say "Life goes on and never dies"
I dream of angels watching me
I try to understand our differences
I hope to see the light around me
I am a girl who is hollow.
