Voices fill my ears, so bright


    shining on my soul like light.


    Deep ones, soft ones, friendly ones, laughing,


    keeping me up at night.


    If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    What I cannot feel in my heart,


    I make others feel instead.


    And in turn, like a dart


    those feelings penetrate my dread.


    A smile that comes from someone else


    caused by my stupid actions


    attacks the ice so that it melts


    true unplanned reactions.


    Making me feel warm inside,


    making me want to shout!


    The doorbell rings, as if replied,


    wonder what is that about.
