A Slient World

In the midst of people that surround me, filled with laughter and love and living of life, to be a part of this world I long to be 
To be loved
To be hugged
To be embraced
To be free with laughter 
To smile or to say hello
Without people looking through me
Or  passing me by
Why do people shun me
What have I done
Am I not made of flesh and blood
Do I not bleed
Do I not dream and cry
Can I not feel the coolness of the rain
Or the warm of the sun
Or the wind upon my face
Am I to be avoided because
I cannot see or cannot hear
Could it be that my mind is weak or mentally not here
Or that my face and body is disfigured beyond years
Can you not look past my scars and see the tears
Or hear my cry or feel my fears
