Laughter

The sound of laughter
Burns my ears
Fire in my eyes
From unshed tears
It hurts
Tears me up inside
And all I can do
Is sit here and hide
In the darkness
Behind a closed door
And cry
They are laughing at me
I feel my flesh tremble
In anger
In pain
In hurt
In suffering
In a room
With one window
One door
And I stay this way
Until the sound of laughter
Is no more
