HOLLOW

can u see behind my smile

the empty behind my eyes

cloaking the failure

ignoring the inside cries

my skin feels like a wall

to keep the ugly in

asking will i feel

ever feel whole again

like a fish with no water

a zombie who only knows to follow

grown to hate who i am

a product of the hollow

Steven, some brilliant lines with some vivid imagery.  Such profound words 

can u see behind my smile

the empty behind my eyes

cloaking the failure

ignoring the inside cries

my skin feels like a wall

to keep the ugly in

asking will i feel

ever feel whole again

One of my favourites that I have read recently.  A big vote from  me, your writing is wonderful:)
