How does it feel? To say, With such dexterity, That you are sad Or alone Or depressed? But you know nothing of these things. At least not the way I know them. Sadness is my bible, Alone is my prayer, Depression is my God. Does that make sense now? You know so much of Religion and the like, Can you begin to comprehend What I know as daily life? Do tears not shake your earth And resonate in your bones Anymore? Do muffled sobs become your Nightly ritual? Is smiling physically painful? And silence is deafening, Even to the quietest ear? I am all things Broken and Used; Abused. I am pain and Loneliness. I don't know these things: I am these things. Good night and good bye From the blonde girl with Golden green eyes And tear stained cheeks.
