My World

To be surrounded by darkness
To not know the meaning of light
To have no hope, or dreams, or trust
To feel so very lost...
To put your hands up and give up
To take a step back from life
To be unable to keep a smile on your face
To be unable to let your tears drop.

To look at others through a veil
That separates you from them
To be surrounded by conversation
And yet be unable to take part in it
To feel so different, so alien
As if you don’t belong...

You don’t understand what I mean?
Enter my world...and you will.
