I feel so empty inside, I don't know why
So many nights myself to sleep I cry
The feeling so bad that I want to die

It just sneaks up straight out of the blue
And I honestly don't know what to do
Do you sometimes feel the way I do too?

I feel worthless, not worth anything at all
And once again upon my friends I call
They always pick me up when I go and fall

But why do I sometimes feel like that
No matter, how skinny I sometimes feel fat
And want to smash my head with a baseball bat

But then the next day I will be just fine
It's as if I crossed some sort of line
Cuz I don't want to feel like that at anytime

This struck a chord with me, Angel. Your words are so real, so very true. I have known that emptiness myself, and at times, still do, as do many out there. Exellent work.

Thank you for letting me read that, I've felt like that a couple of years ago and it helps to know that I'm not the only one that feels like that. thanx.

Thanks both of you for your kind words but I must admit, I was definitely not in a good frame of mind when I wrote this. I am also, through with feeling like this, or at least that's what I thought. I guess I still do once and awhile although I know there aren't too many feelings aren't as bad as not being able to love yourself and I am glad I finally can, most of the time. {Wow, talk about a run-on sentence.} Thanks again.
