#3: know I need to heal/but only ever asked to/heel (which I refuse)
#4: wish I could say hope/felt real but overwhelmed by/lost in emptiness
#5: no self-importance/- millions (maybe billions) feel/this real emptiness
#6: "it could be worse" you're/told meant to minimize pain/of your perceived real
