I can see it in their eyes
their disdain piercing through
my ignorant gaze
rolling in discontent
weakening my resolve
as they close to dismiss
my very existence

I can hear it in their voices
with deliberate tones of sarcasm
to destroy my esteem
throwing facetiously coy remarks
to challenge my will
outnumbered in unison
to quell me into silence

This, is a great poem! GREAT poem! I don't know what caused it, I don't know what happened. I can only read it as poet reading poetry. And it is wonderful.
