Gone

The sound of their laughter is like poison
They are happy and joyful while they know not what hides beneath me

They find me annoying and depressing
If I am, I am, no one can change me
They know not what lurks beneath me

I am strong, fierce, smart, and willful
I am sensitive, understanding, and sad
The sadness that darkens my soul is caused by them and them alone
And they will never know

Because they are gone
Gone from my life and my heart
