Trying to make myself invisible
Trying to drown out the noise
There it was
A separation
A chasm
Close in body, but moving further and further away
Spiritually, mentally
Disconnected, wholly separate
An unwelcome visitor wedged its way in
Past the familiarities
Forget the pleasantries
It sit down heavily
Like a boulder teetering on the edge of a mountain
A mountain of pain
Simmering just below the surface
That superficial veneer threatened to crack with every breath
Things weren't different
They were just as messy as they have always been
That's when I was thankful I was different than them
