I lay there
as I lose feeling in my body
after the crying
after the hyperventilation
the end of my mental breakdown
no longer moving
barely breathing
crying but not feeling the emotions along with it
tears just drain from my eyes
last night was a storm
a cycle of rain and thunder
can't feel
I look at what caused this
the feelings of love not surfacing back
I feel yet nothing
for the man in front of me
I feel nothing
I feel like an empty jar
with the lid sealed tight

- Comment from author about the poem: A breakdown from a conversation with someone I loved. comments have been made on how more appealing I would be if I lost weight. Body dysmorphia, depression, anxiety, bullying. Finally being happy and satisfied with my body, I am then being told by the love of my life I could look better. I feel nothing anymore. I am empty, nothing has come back to me. I feel like an empty shell.
