The One Who Stares
Staring into nothing
quietly sitting
someone wonders "what is it he's thinking"
he keeps his thoughts
and feelings bottled up inside
afraid to let them out because it
might hurt his pride
people just stare
too afraid to ask
he stares back
knowing he wont tell
if those people would buy his thoughtshe wouldn’t sell
for some strange reason
he's beginning not to care
because he's the one
everyone watches, they
call him the one who stares...
