Voices fill my ears, so bright

shining on my soul like light.

Deep ones, soft ones, friendly ones, laughing,

keeping me up at night.

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.
