Ryan Ham Poet Rhyme

The Place Where I Will Not Go

my feet slapped the ground and
Raindrops danced around 
Tears slid down my cheek 
And melded with the rising creek

I didn’t know where I would go,
I knew where I wouldn’t though,
I wouldn’t go to that place all alone
The place that doesn’t truly feel like home

The place where eyes are not met and feelings are not felt
Hands are not held and hearts do not melt
The place where people do not see what is going on with me
And everything is overlooked you see,

People do not look into the eyes of others 
They just look down at the ground
All around they see
But they don’t see me
