Empty Poem by Megan Haskins

Empty
Black
Dark
Remote.
No escape from here.

No transport
No people
Just my own head
And mountains
Lots of mountains.

Can't escape your own head
Can't get out of it
Can't break
Break the shell
Follows you everywhere it does

Screaming
Screaming at you
Stops you sleeping
Stops you eating drinking
Breathing.

Nowhere to go
Nowhere to run
No one to run to
No distractions
Just your own head

Feels like I'm going round in circles now
Mountains are closing in
Engulfing me
Swallowing me whole
Must escape.
