Surrounded

Behind a sheet of glass, 
I watch as all the people that pass, 
Never notice me standing here, 
Lost in my own fear. 

Of being saved, 
And being helped, 
Who I will be when I get out of here, 
I’ve known far too many tears. 

The people seem so joyous, 
With the many smile’s that I see, 
It makes me wonder if I will smile again, 
Like I did before this tragedy. 

They give me hope, 
To help me believe, 
That I can make it out of this, 
All I hear is words, 
They have no meaning to me. 

Like how the rain falls, 
And causes such dread, 
Locked inside these walls, 
I’m going out of my head. 

I still remember that day, 
When she helped me get out, 
A sweet little child went out of her way, 
To knock on the glass.
