Stranger's Eyes
I look into the eyes of a stranger.
Those eyes shun me and push me away.
Their honest eyes want me to disappear
even though their sweet voice says stay.
I stand alone in a crowd of strangers who stare at me.
I don't belong in my own home.
I don't know where I should be.
Even though the voices at home are soft I know
their intentions are harsh.
I don't know what to think.
I am lost in the dark!
Then I look out of the stranger's eyes.
I turn to leave and wave my goodbye.
