A smile faded


Today a smile faded As quickly as a mind can be jaded The feeling of being alone creeps up from the abyss All the voices around fall in to silence. They begin to walk pass as if I'm see through My hands and feet refuse to do as they're told to. Held captive in a trans all I can do is watch time pass Watch those around me live, love, and laugh by the mass. My voice stopped from crying out Not a wimper or a muffled shout. The world moves on and I'm stuck standing in place Never to experience the glow shown or their face. That warmth that reminds them they are not alone The one that keeps them from being cold to the bone. Today a smile faded The smile extinguished and with depression it is shaded. Today my smile faded.
