Hollow

"Hollow"

Hello?
This cry shouted in the dark
A voice reaching out for those who would hear its call
But only an echo got the message
I ask questions in my head
Only to hear the same echo in return,
What is the reason for all that is?
Why do I feel this way?
The only answer I get is the question I asked
Why do I feel this way?
Why do hunger for the knowledge of the why?
Why do I wish I could be better?

A person like me
We know our flaws
I know I know mine
Mine, the flaw of an imperfect heart
Of an impaired friendliness
Words that flow like rivers on paper
But when spoken dry like the ink I use to write with
If I could only see
The way others feel about me
I want others to understand what they see
When they see me
I want them to see me

I wish those I love could be more easily approached
I wish I wasn't a friend ten times less than the friends I see
I wish I could perfect my speech
I wish I could fine tune my feelings
Control my anger
Yet wishes speak for themselves
And most oft do they only fall on Hollow Ears
And only the echo is returned.

I found a quote for you...
"The greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not our circumstances."
- Martha Washington

though it does say "greater part" and here is a quote to counter that.

"It's just a minor thing and I'm a minor king" - Red Hot Chili Peppers :p

honestly though, I know what you mean with the quote. I'd rather just write out the stupid stuff so I don't have to bug anyone with it later on.

[Lady Eve PMS]

well you've been saying how much you're displeased with a lot of things going on...and basically the quote says it's your outlook not the situation that causes happiness or misery.

alright Alena, you win again :)

I'll talk to you later how and why exactly you do win.
