Can you hear?
Can you hear
My sadness when Mom
Left me for first time at kindergarten

Can you hear
The inside jokes
I shared with my primary school friends

Can you hear
The shameful thoughts
Deeds, words that crossed my being

Can you hear
The seething hatred
I hide behind a smile

Fleeting memory
Fading time
All returns to silence

Did I ever exist
And will anyone
Ever know?

Are we the only members
Of our own lonely world?
