Hollow Happiness

Sunshine on my skin. Feels like static in my bones. Everyone keeps saying

I'm glowing but it's radiation that shows. I laugh a little louder

so they won't hear the crack. Nobody sees I'm stitched together with panic attacks.

I throw confetti over all the parts I lost. Smile big enough to hide the

cast. Don't get close or you'll see the seams. I'm a pinata

full of broken dreams. I'm happy, so fucking happy. Say it 'til

it sounds like truth. If H is for hollow, A is for

alone, P is for paranoid, P is for pathetic,
