Hollow

Walking through the hallways
feeling a little strange
heading toward the bathroom
and facing myself in the mirror
Looking at my blank expression
and especially at my eyes
big eyes
blank eyes
hollow eyes
with nothing behind them
no happiness
no glimmer
no energy
just an empty void
where all feelings 
are sucked away
I tear my eyes away
from my dead-eyed reflection 
and walk to my class
feeling like 
I'm controlling myself
from outside of my body
like a puppeteer
pulling the strings
and watching 
as I dance through my day
a hollow-eyes marionette
going through the motions
It isn't a perfect way to live
But what use
is a marionette
without her strings?
What use is a girl
without life?
