I do not laugh
anymore.
I do not cry
anymore.
I do not giggle
anymore.
I am not silly
anymore.

There is no laughter
left in me.
There are no tears
left in me.
There are no giggles
left in me.
There is no silliness
left in me.

I will not run
nevermore.
I will not play
nevermore.
I will not joke
nevermore.
I will not smile
nevermore.

There is no need to run
free like a bird
in the sun.
There is no energy to play
crazy and wild
and fun.
There are no jokes told
that make me laugh.
I am hollow inside.
There is no reason to smile.
I have been robbed
of my happiness
and pride.

I cannot laugh.
I cannot cry.
I cannot giggle.
I cannot be silly.
I cannot run.
I cannot play.
I cannot joke.
I cannot smile.

Why?
Nevermore...

Like a lady dancing in a music box- the music stops and she is frozen in the final moment. Thats how this struck me.
