By- Kaushik Ganesan
Laughter resonates around the room,
Words hang in the air around me
People with their charming smiles
And menacing stares;
Yet I'm possessed by a demon;
All I feel is an emptiness.
A weight crushing my chest,
Tears drying by my eyes,
Abuse echoing in my ears,
Unheard by the others!
The demon who possesses me;
He's calls himself Loneliness.
Inspite of what he does to me,
I've found peace in his possession!
