'numb' emptiness'

"Hello, is there anybody there?"
I can't ease the pain,
I can't get on my feet again,
when nothing inside remains,
Skipping meals, once again
how does this happen,
how is this a trend?
it isn't trendy
to starve oneself
yet here I am
Do you ever feel your chest sink?
It’s like when you dive under cold water,
The deep ocean pools the emptiness inside
Even as you try to swim to the surface.
It’s like when you dive under cold water,
I go throughout my days
radiating this confidence
that I can’t even believe
exists in me
I play my cards
I make my face
