Locust Girl



I am not myself in sorts.
I am a shell of Holly.
I am filled to the brim with empty.
I am brittle. I could crumble with the wind.
To the naked eye, I am perfectly fine.
But my eyes wear sweaters.
I am everything and I am nothing all at once.
I am brave, but I am a coward.
I have 20 different faces, and outfit to match each one.
I am relentless and endless, but I am giving up.
I am overflowing with empty.
Someone please drain me of this emptiness
and fill me with something more...
