I keep burning myself
And I keep melting down
Just like how something burns
If you set something on fire.
I’m a paper bag
That temporarily gives space
To everything that can fit inside me
But I keep tossing them out
For I cannot handle if it’s too heavy.
Also, I have no best friends
And I always keep myself
Far away from commitments
And anything that scares me.
Sometimes, I feel
That I have a heart that beats
And a brain that thinks
But then, I realise that
There is nothing inside me.
A paper bag to another paper bag.
I could relate to every word and emotion described.. Well done.

It’s surprising how so many people feel this exact same way. You’d expect we would know better but that’s far from the truth.

Hey, to the hollow soul

You don’t need any best friends
Nor any commitments
You’re enough by yourself
