Remember when we used to cry
so loud so our parents would give
us the attention we wanted, and to acknowledge that we are upset?
Now we cry silently screaming silently into our pillow late at night
to make sure one hears us?
Remember when we used to
leave our doors wide open
because we feared the
monsters under our bed
and scared of the dark?
Now we hardly ever leave or open the door because we somehow find comfort in the
loneliness of our own space.
