In The Nicest Way

Happy, was I, ignorant,
Now everything has changed,
Now I don't know where I am,
Feel lonely and estranged.

I just want to be alone,
Yet with those whom I trust,
Away from all the goading words,
Where people haven't fussed.

Ruined now, impatient now,
Upset, distraught, it's mad,
I thought I'd stay here for a while,
But now I'm slightly sad.

Cleaning whiskers, primping fur,
Pretending I can't hear,
Hoping this will leave me be,
But end does not seem near.
