I’m on my own in a room of plenty,

reminiscing something I don’t want to.

These people here only care for themselves

and not all of the things they put me through.

It gets to the point I must be silent

to keep intact some of my sanity.

For if I lose my mind here in this room

and speak poisonous words, profanity,

I will never recover what is lost

from the relationships that have been strained.

My heart long since barricaded within,

it’s no longer able to be obtained.
