Drama

I could never understand
Why people are so full of hate
As they stare as I stand
Like they can smell the fear they create
Cloaked under all their madness
Feeling lost with no where to hide
How would I escape my sadness
Searching for a friend to stand beside
Try to hold my head up high
Maybe if I do not look
I walk right by
Hoping they don’t see the voice they took
No one says a word
Now they stay unheard
