NothingA Poem by Ellie FitchetI am empty,
Hollow eyed,
Colourless,
Nothing.
I feel nothing.
I see how they look at me,
See their furtive glances,
I am a mad woman,
Not a daughter.
I feel nothing.
They whisper,
I don’t care.
I am okay.
I smile.
I am hurting.
They avoid my eyes,
I look away.
I smile.
It is hard.
I can’t stand it.
I run.
I scream.
I weep.
They watch.
I feel nothing. © 2015 Ellie FitchetAuthor's Note
