I listen to the chatter around me
Join in the laughter with a plastic smile
That never reaches me eyes
Hiding behind my cloak and shield,
I block out the sunlit world
Favoring the darkness of my mind.
So many questions needing answers
So many dreams left unfulfilled
Yet there is one dream
That can still come true
A nightmare that may bring me peace
When all else fails
My friends may worry about me
But they will see it is all for the best
I know what it is I must do
And they will have to take a breath and walk away
I only have one request
For those who are left behind
Plant a lilac bush before turning your back
So the wolf can always watch over me
Under the flowers in the spring
