Quiet
May 20, 2014
Gravity didn’t apply to me,
Smiling, laughing, and squealing,
Standing on top of the world
Life was perfect.
I awoke,
I awoke from that special dream,
With huge expectations.
But, quiet.
The smell-less kitchen
The sound of the buzzing microwave--
Everything became a blur--
Just, quiet.
Sadness, neglect, and loathing,
No surprise,
No breakfast,
Just, quiet.
No happy birthday.
My stomach churned..
No one remembered...
Just, quiet
The birthday I was looking forward to,
Next year they will remember,
They still didn’t.
Just, quiet.
