The Elephant in the Room

The Elephant in the Room

The missing piece I always find
The unavoidable void 
The past I cannot leave behind 
Over-sensitive or paranoid?
The weakest link I always break
The unmistakable mistakes 
The happiness I flawlessly fake
Above an invisible earthquake 
The scars that only pretend to heal
The elephant in the room
The greyness that I seem to feel
When light blends with black doom

That abysmal abyss—the vapid void where vile creatures dwell.
 A putrid place that aches, quakes, and shakes us to the very core of our soul.
I've stood on the precipice of those apathetic abominations and dared to laugh.
Nicely penned, Jayne...
