(Megan Luttinen: Sometimes)


Sometimes

I just feel really empty
Like a glass waiting for water
I'm never good enough
Always have to measure up.
 
Sometimes
I feel like I've been formed in a mold
Already shaped 
All the pieces of my life chosen 
Before I could make my own.
 
Sometimes I need to break out
Do something crazy or fun
But nothing too much 
I know my limits 
You don't care, what I do is bad enough.
 
Sometimes I want to throw up
Everything I feel
Purge all the bad and leave myself
Empty but slightly better
I crave to feel better.
