Freak Show

They are starring again. I hear their whispers again. Do they think I don't hear, As I see all their sneers? Why do they hate me? Why do they berate me? Is it something I did? Is it the way I live? I ask myself these questions all the time. As people stare at me and my unknown crime. I never knew my true family. I don't know where they could be. Maybe they gave me up for the same reasons why. Maybe it's how I look, hiding the tears in my eyes. I never show people my sadness and pain. They can't know their winning, as I'm growing less sane. As I look at these people, I feel like I'm in a circus. I'm the main act, center stage, a clown so worthless. I'll have to keep standing so they don't know, Here in the center stage of my own freak show.

No one is worthless, only priceless. The only real freaks in life are the judges. I work with kids that feel this way. They aren't the problem and have never been the cause. Poetry is a great coping skill.
