FeelingsFeelings, , sentiments, happiness, devotions,
Anger, jealousy, joyful emotions.

Life for them seemed just grand,
Life for these girls held untold joys,
There was no need for expensive toys.

Boxed off and brave, And now it begins, A lifetime of wonder, Or a lifetime of sins.

We are irrelevantly real.
And I am left with no one but myself,
With this hollowness I feel.
