Silence amongst  family 
It is strange......
I feel so lonely
though many are around

In my home
my family's here
yet never with me

To sit here alone
it saddens me
as they laugh and play

I hear them
in their own worlds
pursuing all their dreams

Feeling happy
they have their desires
even though I don't have mine

It's still strange
our differences
are what makes us unique!!
