Belonging
Isolated
In a sea of laughter
Alone
On a prairie of smiles
Blurred figures in motion
Chattering the chatter of the unafflicted
But I am not one of them
I am different
I am
Isolated
In a sea of laughter
Alone
On a prairie of smiles
They look through me
Not at me
They talk at me
Not to me
Free
falling
Through space
Praying for feelings
To catch me
Each second
Ticks s l o w l y
Isolated
In a sea of laughter
Alone
On a prairie of smiles
My heart rests
Divided
in
pieces
But then
A smile
The beginning of a friendship
My heart begins
To come together
Amongst sharpened figures
Where
I am
Immersed
In a sea of laughter
Embraced
On a prairie of smiles
