The pain in me
The only thing that you can't see
All I do is go to hell
And you can taunt me anywhere

The monster I call trust has been broken
By my 'friends' whom they have stolen
The devils come to pick them up
And hurt me within

I feel the wrath rising,
pain growing,
As I write this poem
I may never be the same again.

The little gold
Shines beautifully
Under the yellow light
Shimmering faces
With a cheeky smile

Come four years
A little older
A  little dirtier
But that same cheeky smile
The same little gold

Come another 8 years
The same little gold
Inside
Layers and layers
of dark, black
dirt piling up
No more cheeky smiles
Only masks, masks and more masks

Come another 16 years
The same little gold
More and more
More and more
More and more
Layers piling up
The little gold
No more to be seen
Black, coarsened gold
Masks, masks and
more masks
A heart of gold
But not
a mind of gold

Come another 32 years
The little black gold
ceases to exist.
Under the thousands
and thousands
and thousands
of other layers
But a new layer of gold
forms.
Twas not the gold
formed first
Formed last
Old is gold.

I'm actually glad
You're laughing
Along with your new deskmates.
Time can do so much,
Breaking down the walls
Between people.
But time is playing tricks on me
Now I'm left all
Alone
As I fade off into the distance.
