I stood quietly
tears hidden
watching them laugh
to themselves.
Such a miserable display,
I could no longer speak
no longer bring my eyes
from the floor.
I was mistaken.
Horribly.
Miserably.
My half-soul
lay gasping for air
breathing it's last.
Finally destroyed.
I was empty.
So bare.
So ugly.
Powerless
cut down
completely
insignificant.
