I don't need anyone to break me, I can do it myself.

Empty Creature

You try to replace the pain 

With material things, and temporary people

Or bottle it up

Until you explode

Curled up in a ball, wishing to disappear

impulsively 

Trying to fill this void in your soul

Because the emptiness hurts

It bounces of the walls of your hollow vessel

The pain echoes inside your emptiness

looking for a place to settle

Looking for something to placate it

Unresolved pain turns into anger

It maliciously ridicules you

Degrades you into hopelessness

And that's how the cycle goes

I really like this, especially the third stanza. The last line really adds heaps of emotion as well.
