Injustice

Silence
Pierced by screaming
Lost
In a world of hatred
Hate me for what I am
Don't take me for what I am not.

I like the line, "Don't take me for what I am not..." but people who hate you for what you are, don't know who you are.:) Best wishes, Sara

Excellent Melissa! A short, yet devastating analysis. Your last two lines are outstanding! Best wishes, Keith
