The Room Without Sound

When you walk into this room
people are clapping without making a sound 
and their heads facing the ground .

The peoples words our loud and without sound. 
It's as if hate has their mouths bound. 
Even though their looking at you,
they're doing this
without facing you.

This is absolutely rude,crude,
and they make you feel so displaced,
they won't even show you a drop of grace
because of your race, 
and the skin on your face. 

It doesn't matter what good you do,
they'll always find  fault
in anything and everything that you do.
So you desperately try to prove,
what's really true about you.
