Vacant Space

Some days I feel as empty
As this vacant space 
Torn linoleum
Dust
Debris
Exposed wires
Left for no one
Bare boned 
Frayed nerves
Skin inside out
Frightened to be touched
I want to fill this hollowness
To drown out the voices
Screaming of doubt
I want to be enough
For the blue and brown eyes
Staring back at me
But I feel
I am always 
Falling
Short
