I couldn't hide in the shadows
I was seen,
I couldn't hide in the light
I was touched,
All the people around me laughed without care,
They don't realize that I was a human with such a fragile soul,
The messages, the stabs and hits, the comments they all hurt.
Why can't I be there too?
I was unloved and unwanted
They threw their words
negative names echoed in my mind
They would shoot their venomous looks at me…..
I never shed my tears not giving their satisfaction
I held my head high
Faltering in steps every step of the way
Finally I crumble unable to stand any more
I was covered in the empty sorrow filled quiet
I was peaceful while everyone was covered in black,
I floated above finally free I bore no more scars
They are now at the mercy of me.
