Reasons

 I stumbled quietly into the land they gathered together in glee, Reasons.
They continuously slandered and sneered at me, Reasons.
Without ceasing, Reasons.

They pretended to want to be my friend only to obtain information to use
against me, and smudge my name, Reasons.

My identity was retrieved and for what purposes? Reasons.

Violated physically,  mentally, and misunderstood verbally was it intentional?
Reasons.

Labeled and placed in someone else's boxes, Reasons?

On high alert, for these Reasons.
