Am I gone? Is it over? 5 and Beyond

5 

5 years

It was bad

Who would have thought

Am I over it

Do they think I am

Who knows

I go on

Good? 

No

But that’s what is does

I don’t want to be asked or bothered

I don’t want to worry others

Even tho they worry

Why tho

They just act it up

Turn it up and look away

All just a big joke to some

The act they all play in

No matter what

Can’t do anything 

Wish I could

Silence so loud 

Yet so quiet

So lonely, depressing

Deep 

Despite all the pain and suffering 

Sadness and love 

Being here 

Over and out

Times up

All over in 5?

Maybe more?

Am I gone?

Is it over?

Who knows

I don’t know what it’s like beyond
