Humpty Dumpty by Sarah Corneliuson ’20
I’m empty empty empty
I don’t feel anything at all
I feel just like humpty dumpty
Who fell off that wall
But I fell
into nothingness
I fell into
never feeling well
I just feel––
hopelessness
I’m too young to feel this way
But yet here I am writing
To get away
Writing to feel like I can
Writing to feel okay
I know I need to open up
Crawl out of
This darkened shell
I need to build up
To where humpty dumpty sat
Before he fell
But again
There’s the hopelessness
The feeling of
Never being well
I don’t ever
Want to feel this way
Again
But this feeling
Just makes me want to give in
