deafening silence

I march around in solidarity

on the grounds I used to love

now every step feels empty and meaningless,

full of nothingness

 

People stop me,

ask if I'm okay

"I'm fine"

but I know that they don't really care

If they did, they would've stuck by me no matter what

 

I used to enjoy the silence,

but now it feels more like a punishment instead of a reward

Like the gods are taking force against me for my wrongdoings

but what did I do this time?

I thought that I acted with grace and thoughtfulness

I guess not

 

Its so sad,

a contradictory to the blue sky

the one in this dark winter

Light reflects off great trees like they have their own story to tell

 

With every step growing softer, I carry on my way home

 

All these people surround me

filled with what looks like everlasting joy

but I cant help but think,

"Is it all fake?"
