• The voices inside have stilled.
    The burning anger has chilled.

    The feeling that I am useless
    Has been replaced by truthfulness.

    I am loved.
    I am needed.

    Never have I felt so calm...
    Or maybe I have, I just forgot.

    So many emotions have been killed,
    But now, they can't mill

    And stew,
    And torture you

    With poems of sadness,
    Of wonton gladness,

    Of delicious pain,
    and Love's lost gain.

    No more cheesiness.
    No more moroseness.

    I am quiet inside,
    The world is quiet inside.
