I need something.
Anything.
A way to get my incomplete thoughts
out.
I'm broken.
Empty.
Without words to write.
Expressionless.
Emotions battling.
Won't be long
before something
inside me
breaks.
I have nothing.
Thoughts,
but no words
to bring them to
life.
I need something.
Anything.
Anything other than
my thoughts.
But you can't
get something
out
of
nothing.
