Empty

Could anybody look me in the eye
and tell me how I’m feeling?
I can’t tell if there’s anything left,
I’m so tired.
There’s this fire within me,
burning away,
leaving me
with nothing.
I'm so tired of this self-deceit
when I'm trying so hard
to get back upon my feet.
The cracks begin to show.
I never chose to live
a life like this.
