Immune
By: SheridanCraneFitzgerald@hotmail.com

You claim to be immune
To the worries of the world.
Your song is a sweet nothing;
Your smile is what unfurls.
In the midst of this dark place
You refuse to see the meaning.
The source of all your pain
Is why you keep believing.
Your walls refuse to tumble;
Your smile is often feigned.
Your cheerful attitude is nothing --
It is you who must be blamed.
I wonder when the barrier will break,
And the tears will come pouring out.
One day your pain will be too much
And the walls will tumble down.
You hide behind your smile,
But I can see through that mask.
Your nonchalant attitude
Will surely never last.
And when the day comes,
And you start to care,
The tears drowning you...
It is I who will be there.
