I stand in a corner
Head bowed, staring at the wall
I can hear strangers laugh
Their joy makes me sick
Don’t they know?
Of my suffering, my struggles
The tears I have not shed
Don’t they care?
Slowly I raise my head
Accidently, I meet the kind eyes
Across the room I see a warm smile
Unknowingly, I return the gesture
I can feel my lips
Curving into a smile
I loathe myself right now
Guilt of the moment burdens me
