UNSPOKEN JOY

for some reason, the girls are mute. nothing but shrieks (of laughter) and giggles escape their glossed lips. a few words here and there. and i can't help but feel their happiness sparking in the air, twisting into a cruel blade.

plunging straight into my heart.

i'm not in their world. i don't understand their world. is their laughter genuine, i wonder? is their happiness contagious?

of course, there are pretenders. movements on autopilot. she doesn't know what she's doing. how are you? she giggles. and giggles. oozes joy. i'm good. i'm good. thank you for the positivity.

behind walls she is silent.

i am always behind a wall.

i am always silent.
